              OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE PROUTY
         ON APPELLANT'S SECOND MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

       Before the Board is appellant Quality Trust Inc.'s (Quality's) second motion for
reconsideration of our earlier entry of summary judgment against its appeal of the
contracting officer's decision to terminate its contract for default. We granted summary
judgment in favor of the government on 5 May 2016 and denied Quality's first motion
for reconsideration on 29 June 2016. * The present motion was submitted to us on
4 August 2016. The government has declined to file a response.

       The Board's Rules do not provide for a second motion for reconsideration. Absent
extraordinary circumstances, which are not present here, we would summarily deny such
a motion, and we do so here.

       Accordingly, appellant's second motion for reconsideration is denied.

       Dated: 8 September 2016
