2. Settlement Payment. GSA and McCleary agree that payment from the United States to McCleary for a total sum of $495,000.00 . . . will constitute full and final settlement of this Appeal. . . .
. . . .
4. Processing the Settlement Payment. . . . GSA shall submit requests for payment of the Settlement Amount to the Treasury Department’s Financial Management Service within three business days after receipt of the Board’s entry of judgment . . . .
The parties also agreed that if payment is not received by appellant within thirty days, appellant shall be entitled to interest on the settlement amount commencing on the thirty-first day after the date of this decision. They have also stated that neither party will seek reconsideration of, or relief from, the Board’s decision, and that neither party will appeal the Board’s decision.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Richard E. McCleary, CBCA 406, 409. 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.
