DISMISSED: February 1, 2016
CBCA 4453
XEROX CORPORATION,
Appellant,
v.
AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT,
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.
Donald J. Walsh of Offit Kurman, P.A., Owings Mills, MD, counsel for Appellant.
M. Katherine Stroker, Office of the General Counsel, Agency for International Development, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent.
WALTERS, Board Judge.
Order
This appeal was filed against the wrong federal agency, the Agency for International Development (USAID), rather than against the agency with whom appellant, Xerox Corporation, had its contract, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In this regard, we note that the claim that is the subject of the appeal in fact had been addressed to an HHS contracting officer. Appellant has filed a request for a voluntary dismissal of the instant appeal, and states that it intends to file a substitute appeal against HHS. Since it was not lodged against the proper respondent, the instant appeal is DISMISSED.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Xerox Corporation, CBCA 4453. 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.
