                                 ORDER 
    
        On   November  16,   1993,  appellant,   Adelaide  Blomfield
   Management  Company,  appealed  from  the  contracting  officer's
   denial of a claim for rent relating to the Government's lease  of
   an office  building in Anchorage, Alaska.  The claim was based on
   an alleged  premature termination of  the lease.  On  January 21,
   1994,  respondent moved  to  dismiss  for  lack  of  jurisdiction
   because appellant failed to certify  its claim to the contracting
   officer  as  required by  the  Contract Disputes  Act,  41 U.S.C.
    605(c)(1).  Appellant, citing our old Rule 28(a)(1), has filed a
   non-opposition to  respondent's motion to dismiss,  the dismissal
   to be without prejudice.  
 
        We treat appellant's non-opposition as a voluntary motion to
   withdraw its  appeal.  Respondent  does not object.   Pursuant to
   revised Rule 28(b),  this appeal is DISMISSED  WITHOUT PREJUDICE,
   to be deemed dismissed with  prejudice unless reinstated no later
   than 365 calendar days from the date of this dismissal.
