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.

Order
The General Services Administration (GSA) contracted with ABM Services, Inc.
(ABM) for the provision of operation and maintenance services for the Chet Holifield Federal Building in Laguna Niguel, California. ABM maintains that GSA did not pay for the final month of services ABM provided under the contract. GSA contends that it did not make payment in response to ABM’s final invoice because it had previously paid the contractor more than the total contract amount.
The parties have now settled their dispute and have jointly moved the Board to dismiss with prejudice ABM’s appeal of the contracting officer’s decision which denied the contractor’s claim.
The motion is granted. The appeal is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in ABM Services, INC, CBCA 3301. 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.
