equitable adjustment of the contract price. On June 19, 1990,
HTC was dissolved by the State of Connecticut. The Couchs were
given standing to pursue an appeal before the Armed Services
Board of Contract Appeals on behalf of HTC. They timely filed an
appeal that was denied by the Board in an opinion dated October
30, 1992. However, the Board ordered that the parties were to
negotiate an equitable distribution of the property owned by HTC.
The Couchs caused HTC to appeal the Board's decision to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Extensive briefs were filed on the appellant's behalf, dated July
30, 1993, and September 30, 1993. A divided panel of the Court
of Appeals affirmed the Board's decision on March 7, 1994.
Thereafter the appellant filed with the Court of Appeals a
"Combined Petition for Rehearing and Suggestion for Rehearing in
Banc", which was denied. The Couchs on behalf of HTC then sought
review by the Supreme Court, but their petition for certiorari
was denied on October 3, 1994. Finally, in accord with the order
of the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals, petitioners'
counsel by letter of January 15, 1995, took steps to begin
negotiations with the Army on the "quantum as to the two
outstanding issues on which the Board of Contract Appeals ruled
for HTC." The record does not disclose whether such negotiations
have in fact been commenced, or whether, if commenced, they have
been concluded, or, if concluded, the results thereof.
