                                 ORDER
 
        On June  30, 1992,  Carl Colpitts  (appellant) appealed  the
   termination  for default  of a  contract for  the purchase  of an
   automobile  from  the  General  Services  Administration   (GSA).
   Appellant also  contested GSA's assessment of  liquidated damages
   in the amount of $820.  The Board docketed the appeal on July 7.
 
        On  July 21,  GSA  filed a  motion  to dismiss  for lack  of
   jurisdiction.   Appellant  filed an opposition  to the  motion on
   July 29.  Shortly thereafter, the Board convened the parties in a
   telephonic conference to discuss the pending motion.  Following a
   short discussion, the  Board issued an order  staying proceedings
   for a two-week period while the parties explored  the possibility
   of settlement.
 
        The  Board is  now in  receipt  of a  joint stipulation  for
   voluntary dismissal  of this  appeal with  prejudice pursuant  to
   Rule  28(a).  The stipulation incorporates a settlement agreement
   previously executed by  the parties which we, by  virtue of their
   agreement,  likewise incorporate  into and  make a  part of  this
   dismissal  order.    Accordingly, pursuant  to  Rule  28(a), this
   appeal is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
