Order
On October 1, 2010, the Board received from VT Halter Marine, Inc. (contractor) a timely-filed notice of appeal concerning its contract, DG 133E-04-CN-0036, with the Department of Commerce (Government), which the contracting officer terminated for default. The contractor maintains that the termination was improper, factually and legally unfounded, and should be nullified and converted to a termination for the convenience of the Government. On November 9, 2011, the Board received from the parties a request for a dismissal with prejudice, the parties having settled this dispute. The Board grants the request; the appeal is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in VT Halter Marine, Inc., CBCA 2172. Nothing is summarized or reworded, and the sections run in the order the Board wrote them. What the page shows and the text does not repeat is the pagination furniture: the page numbers and the rules the Board draws around its caption and under its signatures. The signatures are set back into the columns the Board prints them in, each judge under the name he or she signed, and the typed copy of that name the page carries beneath each signature is not repeated.
