Board of Contract Appeals General Services Administration Washington, D.C. 20405 ______________________________________ DISMISSED: December 2, 2003 ______________________________________ GSBCA 16266 MARUT TESTING & INSPECTION SERVICES, INC., Appellant, v. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, Respondent. Bradley Alan Rush, Silver Spring MD, counsel for Appellant. Gerald L. Schrader, Office of General Counsel, General Services Administration, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent. Before Board Judges DANIELS (Chairman), BORWICK, and NEILL. NEILL, Board Judge. By order of October 20, 2003, the Board directed appellant to show cause within fifteen days why this case should not be dismissed. The Board's order noted that the claims which are the subject of this appeal appear to be included in the expanded version of the claims which are already the subject of another appeal currently before the Board in GSBCA 16079. Counsel for appellant has chosen not to respond to the Board's order. Instead, he has advised the Board that he does not object to our dismissal of this case. Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED as duplicative of what is already the subject of GSBCA 16079. ____________________________ EDWIN B.
