Order
On February 20, 2015, GWSI, Inc. filed a notice of appeal concerning a decision by a contracting officer of Customs and Border Protection. The decision suspends the selection of GWSI as an operator of the Centralized Examination Station at the Port of Philadelphia and proposes to revoke and cancel GWSI’s status as an operator at that location. The Board questioned its jurisdiction to proceed with this matter. On June 24, 2015, the parties filed a joint motion seeking a dismissal without prejudice. GWSI is withdrawing the appeal without prejudice; the contracting officer is reconsidering the proposed revocation; and the parties have agreed upon a methodology of proceeding to a final administrative determination. In accordance with the request of the parties, the Board DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the appeal; the issue of Board jurisdiction is moot.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in GWSI, Inc., CBCA 4562. 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.
