ORDER OF DISMISSAL
On 7 June 2017, appellant filed a notice of appeal with the Board from a deemed
denial of a claim it sent to the contracting officer on 6 April 2017. By email dated
8 June 2017, appellant notified the Board that it wished to withdraw its appeal without
prejudice, indicating it had been informed by the contracting officer that the appeal was
premature. During a conference call with the parties, appellant informed the Board that
after it filed its notice of appeal, the contracting officer informed appellant that her office
had recently moved and that she never received appellant's claim. Government counsel
also indicated that the address to which the claim was sent was incorrect so the claim was
never forwarded to the contracting officer's new office. The government has advised the
Board that it does not object to appellant's request.
Based upon the foregoing, this appeal is dismissed from the Board's docket
without prejudice.
