v.
GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION,
Respondent.
The case caption as the decision prints it. Every word is kept; the rule the Board draws around it is not text, so it is not repeated here.
Derrick Chang, Vice President of Ruby Investments, Inc., Anchorage, AK, appearing for Appellant.
Richard O. Hughes, Office of General Counsel, General Services Administration, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent.
DANIELS, Board Judge (Chairman).
Order
The General Services Administration (GSA) leased from Ruby Investments, Inc.
(Ruby) space in a building owned by Ruby in Anchorage, Alaska. Ruby claimed that it built out the space on an expedited basis, at GSA’s direction, and in so doing incurred costs which it would not have incurred had the agency not given the direction. Ruby demanded payment of $10,769.69 under the lease for one portion of the building and $20,536.28 under the lease for another portion. The contracting officer denied both claims, and Ruby appealed from his decisions.

The parties have reached a voluntary settlement in both of the cases, and Ruby has received the agreed-upon payment from GSA. Ruby has now asked that the cases be closed and removed from the Board’s docket.
Accordingly, the Board DISMISSES THE CASES WITH PREJUDICE to their reinstatement.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Ruby Investments, Inc, CBCA 2271, 2272. 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.
