                                 ORDER OF DISMISSAL

       By notice of appeal dated 30 May 2014, appellant appealed from a "denial of rates
increase request which [was] implied" by a 23 May 2014 notice of non-default contract
termination. By letter dated 6 June 2014, appellant submitted an unopposed request to
withdraw the appeal, along with two related appeals, "without prejudice to re-file appeals
of these claims, if necessary, when the Contracting Officer has issued a Final Decision on
each claim."

       In response to the Board's request for further information, by Order dated 16 June
2014, appellant stated:

              Zalzar.. .amended and resubmitted an official claim in sum
              certain requesting a wage rate increase on June 10, 2014 ....
              [B]ecause it did not have a Contracting Officer's Final
              Decision on the wage rate increase claim when it appealed to
              the Board and does not have a final decision now, Zalzar
              respectfully requests that the [Board] grant Zalzar' s request to
              withdraw [this appeal] without prejudice so Zalzar may
              timely initiate a new appeal.. ..
       The government having no objection to appellant's request, this appeal is
dismissed without prejudice to a timely appeal to the Board from the denial or deemed
denial of Zalzar's claim.
