                                ORDER OF DISMISSAL

       The present appeal arises from a contracting officer's final decision asserting a
government monetary claim for alleged overpayments under the captioned contract. The
docketed appeal was filed by counsel who represented appellant during proceedings.
Upon withdrawing his representation, counsel advised that Mr. Khary Lewis, Chairman
& CEO of Infinite Services & Solutions, Inc., would represent appellant and provided his
last known mailing address.

       By Order dated April 13, 2018, the Board directed Mr. Lewis to enter his written
notice of appearance in the appeal or, alternatively, appellant to designate a person
meeting the criteria of Board Rule 15( a). The Order was mailed to the address provided
by appellant's prior counsel. After receiving no response, the Board issued a second
Order, dated May 14, 2018, directing appellant to show that it was represented in this
appeal by a person who meets the criteria of Board Rule I5(a) or to designate a proper
person as its representative. Appellant was advised that if it did not comply with the
May 14 Order, the Board may dismiss the appeal without further notice to the parties.
The response was due by May 28, 2018. The May 14 Order was sent via certified mail
and email.
       To date, no response has been received to the Board's April 13 and May 14
Orders. Since the Board cannot proceed without a representative meeting the
requirements of Board Rule 15(a), this appeal is dismissed.

      Dated: June 11, 2018
