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.

Order
OLS Trading, Inc. (appellant) appealed a decision of the contracting officer arising out of a contract between appellant and the General Services Administration (GSA or Government). Appellant contended that property it purchased (office equipment and furnishings) from GSA differed from the contract as to quantity of the purchase and as to the time frame of transfer. In initially processing the appeal, appellant raised the fact that the contracting officer’s decision failed to include the required information as to the option to appeal to the United States Court of Federal Claims. Soon after docketing this matter, the lack of language as to the court was discussed with the parties, with appellant choosing to remain at the Board. Thereafter the parties engaged in settlement discussions.

2 CBCA 887
The Board was notified verbally on October 16, 2007, that the parties had reached a settlement. In a letter dated October 24, 2007, between the parties, appellant advised the Government that it would sign the stipulation of settlement, once it received the agreed-to payment. The fully executed settlement, with signature by both parties, was received by the Board on January 30, 2008. The signed stipulation called for the appeal to be dismissed. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in OLS Trading, Inc., CBCA 887. 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.
