GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, Respondent. Michael B. Holiday, pro se, Landover, MD, appearing for Appellant. Lydia R. Kupersmith, Assistant Regional Counsel, General Services Administration, Washington, DC, counsel for the Respondent. Before Board Judges DEVINE, NEILL, and GOODMAN. DEVINE, Board Judge. ORDER This appeal was filed on November 29, 1993. Appellant challenged the Government's assessment of $2,890.40 for excess re-procurement costs arising out of the termination for default of appellant's guard services contract. On December 3, 1993, this Board issued a Notice of Docketing and an Order on Further Proceedings. Included with the issuance of the docketing order was a copy of the Board's Rules of Procedure, 48 CFR 6101 (1992). The Order on Further Proceedings directed that appellant file its complaint in accordance with Rule 7(b)(1); i.e., within thirty days of the docketing of the appeal. To date, appellant has not submitted a complaint. On January 12, 1994, respondent wrote to appellant (with copy to the Board) stating that neither respondent nor the Board had received the complaint. On March 10 and 14, 1994, the Board attempted to reach appellant telephonically. Despite leaving messages as to the urgency of the calls, no response has been received. On March 16, 1994, this Board issued an order directing the appellant to show cause why his appeal should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Appellant's response was due not later than April 8, 1994. To date appellant has not responded in any manner. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for failure to prosecute. ________________________________ DONALD W.
