No. 05-1188 T Judge Horn ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS

TEXTRON INC., Plaintiff, v. THE UNITED STATES, Defendant. __________________ JOINT STATUS REPORT __________________ The parties submit this status report pursuant to the Court's June 5, 2006 order that the parties notify the Court of a decision issued in either America Online, Inc. v. United States, Fed. Cir. No. 05-5138 or Honeywell, Int'l. v. United States, Fed. Cir.No. 05-5145. On June 5, 2006, upon motion of the United States, both cases were voluntarily dismissed1 under Rule 42(b) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. Accordingly, the disposition of those cases does not affect the proceedings of this case.

It is not the practice of the Federal Circuit to dismiss with or without prejudice. E.g., Timberbrook Properties v. United States, 132 Fed. Appx. 371 (Fed. Cir. 2005). -1-
