Order
The Forest Service, an entity within the Department of Agriculture, awarded Joseph Grasser t/a Grasser Logging (Grasser) a contract for the sale of timber in the Allegheny National Forest. The sale was terminated, and in a contracting officer decision, the Forest Service demanded that Grasser pay it $132,627.61 under the Damages for Failure to Cut or Termination for Breach clause of the contract. Grasser appealed that decision to the Board. Later, the contracting officer revised his decision to reduce the agency’s demand to $76,334.49.
The parties have now settled the case and Grasser has filed a request for dismissal. The request is granted. The case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Joseph Grasser t/a Grasser Logging, CBCA 5295. 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.
