DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE: September 29, 1994 GSBCA 12051(11312)-REIN RANCO CONSTRUCTION, INC. & REESE CONSTRUCTION, INC., A JOINT VENTURE, Appellant, v. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, Respondent. John W. Fowler, Jr., of Blank, Rome, Comisky & McCauley, Philadelphia, PA, counsel for Appellant. Barry D. Segal, Real Property Division, Office of General Counsel, General Services Administration, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent. DANIELS, Board Judge (Chairman). ORDER This case involves a claim by Ranco Construction, Inc. & Reese Construction, Inc., a Joint Venture (Ranco-Reese), for extended home office overhead during a period of time in which the Government had ordered that work on a construction contract be stopped. The claim is in the amount of $107,616.84. On May 13 of this year, the Board denied cross-motions for summary relief and provided direction to the parties as to the facts and legal argument which might assist us in determining a proper resolution of the dispute. The parties subsequently intensified settlement negotiations; they requested and were granted a stay of proceedings to complete these discussions. On July 29, the parties informed the Board that their negotiations had resulted in settlement of the case. Precisely two months later, the parties filed a joint motion to dismiss the case without prejudice. The motion is GRANTED. The case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. As requested by the parties, this dismissal shall become one with prejudice on the ninetieth day following the date of this order, unless either party, prior to that date, asks that the appeal be reinstated. _________________________ STEPHEN M.
