                                 ORDER
 
        This  appeal was filed by  Fire Security Systems, Inc. (FSS)
   in April 1993.  It concerns  a claim for breach damages based  on
   the allegedly  improper  termination,  in  part,  of  appellant's
   contract  to install  a sprinkler  and fire  alarm system  in the
   United States Courthouse in Los Angeles.  
 
        This  case and several other related appeals were eventually
   scheduled for hearing starting January 24, 1995.  In a submission
   filed  with the  Board on  January 6,  appellant advised  that it
   would file  a prehearing  brief relating to  this appeal  "a week
   before hearing if FSS determines that it  wishes to go forward on
   these claims."  No brief was ever filed.  By order  dated January
   19,  the Board  concluded  that  counsel had  elected  not to  go
   forward  with this  case.    At the  time  of hearing,  this  was
   confirmed  by counsel  who agreed  at  that time  to the  Board's
   dismissal of this case.  Transcript, Vol. 7 at 114.  
 
        Accordingly,  pursuant to Rule 28(a), this case is DISMISSED
   WITH PREJUDICE.
