                     OPINION AND ORDER OF DISMISSAL
                    BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE THRASHER

       The contracting officer’s final decision from which the above-captioned appeal
was taken has been withdrawn. The parties mutually consent to the dismissal of the
appeal with prejudice. When a contracting officer unequivocally rescinds a government
claim, the government’s action moots the appeal, leaving the Board without jurisdiction
to entertain the appeal further. Combat Support Associates, ASBCA Nos. 58945, 58946,
16-1 BCA ¶ 36,288 at 176,973. The appeal is dismissed as moot.
