                                  ORDER OF DISMISSAL

        On August 21, 2018, appellant filed a notice of appeal with the Board, which the
Board docketed as ASBCA No. 61760. The notice stated that the appeal involved "a
non-monetary dispute regarding contract interpretation of a unilateral modification to the
delivery schedule" and that it was filed in response to a purported contracting officer's final
decision dated August 10, 2018. By Order dated December 6, 2018, the Board directed
appellant to provide a brief addressing whether the contractor submitted a proper claim to
the contracting officer prior to the initiation of this appeal, and whether the Board has
jurisdiction over this appeal. On December 20, 2018, the parties jointly moved to dismiss
this appeal, stating that on December 13, 2018, the contracting officer "issued two
modifications to the contract that render the request for contract interpretation moot." The
parties' motion is granted. The appeal is dismissed without prejudice.
