ORDER OF DISMISSAL

The Board docketed this appeal on October 4, 2023. On October 30, 2023, the government moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, arguing that appellant failed to submit a valid claim to the contracting officer. By correspondence dated November 3, 2023, appellant requested that the appeal be dismissed without prejudice. The government has indicated that it would agree to dismiss the appeal as moot.
