                                 ORDER
 
        On  July   10,  1992,  Jeffrey   Carr  Construction  Company
   (appellant)  was awarded  a  contract  by  the  General  Services
   Administration (respondent) for courtroom expansion at the United
   States  courthouse in  Akron,  Ohio.    Appellant  contends  that
   respondent wrongfully determined that  certain costs proposed  by
   appellant under  a modification  to the  contract were  too high,
   thereby resulting in respondent's unilateral decision to decrease
   the value of the  modification by $45,233.66.  It  is this amount
   that  appellant claims  it is  owed and  which was denied  by the
   contracting  officer  on March  16,  1994.   Appellant  filed its
   appeal of that decision with this Board on June 20, 1994.
 
        After  appellant filed its  complaint, and before respondent
   filed  its answer,  the Board,  on September 12,  1994, suspended
   proceedings for  thirty days  so that  the parties  could discuss
   settlement.  Subsequent additional stays were also granted, up to
   and  including January  20, 1995,  in  order for  the parties  to
   continue their discussions.   On January 31, the  parties advised
   the Board that the dispute was settled and on March 7, 1995, they
   filed  a joint  motion  to dismiss  this  appeal with  prejudice.
   Accordingly, pursuant  to  the motion  of  the parties  and  Rule
   28(a), this appeal is DISMISSED.
