Agreement to Repay Liquidated Damages Not a Contract that Grants Court Jurisdiction to Hear Complaint Related to Appeal Pending Before ASBCA; COFC No. 19-531C, Fortis Networks Inc. v. United States

The government’s motion to dismiss a request for a temporary restraining order barring the agency from using offsets to collect a debt is granted, where the plaintiff already appealed the CO’s final decision before ASBCA, and where a voluntary installment repayment agreement between the agency and the plaintiff did not present a separate contract that would give the court jurisdiction to hear a complaint related to a case already before a different venue.
