       By correspondence dated September 14, 2018, appellant rescinded and
withdrew its claim which forms the basis for this appeal. Appellant has moved to
dismiss the appeal as moot and the government does not object. When a claim is
unequivocally rescinded, the action moots the appeal, leaving the Board without
jurisdiction to entertain the appeal further. Combat Support Associates, ASBCA
Nos. 58945, 58946, 16-1 BCA 136,288 at 176,973; Management Resource Associates,
Inc., ASBCA No. 49620, 96-2 BCA 128,588 at 142,736. Accordingly, the appeal is
dismissed as moot.
