DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
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.

Order
The Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) awarded to Gates Development Company (Gates) on September 25, 2012, a contract to redevelop an existing communications site located on Guthrie Peak in southeastern Arizona.
On October 15, 2013, Gates submitted to a BLM contracting officer a claim for $77,798.47 for work completed to date and extended overhead costs. The contracting officer denied the claim, pending provision of further information. Gates appealed her decision, and the Board docketed the case as CBCA 3754.
On May 29, 2014, the contracting officer terminated the contract for cause. Gates appealed this decision as well, and the Board docketed the case as CBCA 3979.
The parties have engaged in alternative dispute resolution discussions, with Board Judge Patricia J. Sheridan acting as mediator. The parties have now resolved their disputes and have jointly asked the Board to dismiss both appeals with prejudice.
The motion is granted. The appeals are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Gates Development Company, CBCA 3754, 3979. 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.
