DRUMMOND, Board Judge.
The Environmental Protection Agency entered into contract EP-S7-14-01 with Prudent Technologies, Inc., in which this dispute arose. On November 13, 2018, Prudent submitted an appeal which was docketed as CBCA 6309. On December 18, 2018, a conference call was conducted between the presiding judge, Mr. John Mattox, II, and Ms. Demetra Salisburg in which various jurisdictional matters were discussed. Notably discussed was the lack of a claim and a premature contracting officer’s final decision. The parties submitted a joint stipulation on December 18, 2018, indicating that “Prudent Technologies, Inc. did not file a claim under the Contract Disputes Act [41 U.S.C. §§ 7101-7109 (2012)]” and requested that the Board dismiss this appeal without prejudice, for lack of jurisdiction.
Decision
Accordingly, the above-captioned appeal is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for lack of jurisdiction.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Prudent Technologies, Inc., CBCA 6309. 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.
