                ORDER OF DISMISSAL FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

        On October 22, 2019, the government filed a motion to dismiss for failure to
prosecute. By Order dated October 28, 2019, the Board advised appellant that it had 30-days
to file a response to the government's motion to dismiss. Appellant did not file a response.
On December 6, 2019, the Board ordered appellant to file a response to the motion or show
cause why the appeals should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Again, appellant did
not file a response.

        On January 6, 2020, the Board issued an Order to Show Cause, directing appellant
to file a response to the government's motion or show cause why the appeals should not
be dismissed. Appellant has not responded to any of the Board's Orders requiring a
response to the motion. Accordingly, ASBCA Nos. 61645 and 61646 are dismissed with
prejudice under Board Rule 17.
