LAWRENCE JACKSON,
Appellant,
v.
GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION,
Respondent.
Lawrence Jackson, pro se, Chesterton, IN.
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.
Scott F. McCleary, Office of Regional Counsel, General Services Administration, Chicago, IL, counsel for Respondent.
Before Board Judges STERN, POLLACK, and GOODMAN.
GOODMAN, Board Judge.
Appellant filed this appeal from a contracting officer’s decision denying his claim for a refund of $325, which was withheld from appellant when he failed to remove an item that he had purchased at a General Services Administration auction.
Appellant’s complaint, or designation of his notice of appeal as a complaint, was due on December 28, 2011. The Board unilaterally extended this date twice with no response from appellant on or before the dates specified. Thereafter, appellant was ordered to show cause no later than Friday, February 10, 2012, as to why the Board should not dismiss this appeal for failure to prosecute. The order to show cause advised that if no response was received, the appeal would be dismissed with prejudice.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Lawrence Jackson, CBCA 2631. 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.
