                                 ORDER
 
        Carlisle  Plastics, Inc., appealed  a decision of  a General
   Services  Administration  contracting   officer  terminating  for
   default  a contract between  that agency and  Rhino-X Industries.
   According  to   the  parties,  Carlisle  Plastics   owns  Rhino-X
   Industries, either in whole or in part.
 
        The Board noted  that the appellant  is not the  contractor,
   and ordered the appellant  to show cause why the case  should not
   be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, on account of  the lack of
   privity  between the  appellant  and  the  Government as  to  the
   subject contract.  41 U.S.C.    601(4), 606 (1988); United States
   v. Johnson Controls, Inc., 713 F.2d 1541 (Fed. Cir. 1983).
 
        In response, Rhino-X  Industries filed a separate  appeal of
   the  contracting  officer  decision  in   question  and  Carlisle
   Plastics  asked that the  instant case be  voluntarily dismissed.
   The Board has  already docketed the new appeal  and directed that
   it proceed in accordance with the schedule set for this one.
 
        We  now DISMISS  the appeal  brought  by Carlisle  Plastics.
   Rule 28.
