PSBCA Nos. 4904-4920, 5002 and 5003

APPEARANCE FOR APPELLANT:

Todd Snyder

 

APPEARANCE FOR RESPONDENT:

Cary L. Katznelson, Esq.

Chicago Law Office

OPINION OF THE BOARD ON MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

 

Appellant, Todd's Letter Carriers, has filed a motion for reconsideration of the Board's November 3, 2005 Opinion holding that Appellant's anticipatory repudiation of its mail transportation contracts warranted their termination, granting the recovery by Respondent, United States Postal Service, of erroneous payments made to Appellant, and denying in part and granting in part Appellant's appeal of related excess cost assessments.  Todd's Letter Carriers, PSBCA Nos. 4904-20, 5002 and 5003, 05-2 BCA 33,121.  Respondent opposes the motion.

In its motion, Appellant states that it does not believe its actions constituted anticipatory repudiation, that certain unspecified findings of fact were either incorrect or misunderstood, that "'Erroneous Payments' received were incorrect" and that Respondent failed to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that the default terminations were justified.  Appellant makes no reference to the record and presents no further explanation or support for its statements.  Thus, Appellant's motion fails to "set forth specifically the ground or grounds relied upon to sustain the motion" as required by the Board's rules.  See 39 C.F.R. § 955.30.  As Appellant has failed to identify any factual or legal errors or any newly discovered evidence that would warrant changing the decision, there is no basis for a request for reconsideration.  See Lynn Susan Mancini, PSBCA No. 4129, 00-2 BCA 31,078; Gary W. Noble, PSBCA No. 4094, 00-1 BCA 30,602; Patricia J. Stevens, PSBCA No. 3272, 94-2 BCA 26,951; Montgomery-Ross-Fisher, PSBCA No. 1096, 84-3 BCA 17,607.

Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration is denied, and the Board's Opinion is affirmed.
