                                 ORDER
 
        This appeal  was filed on  June 20, 1995, by  Jewel Elevator
   Service,  Inc.  (appellant).   Respondent,  the General  Services
   Administration,  awarded  a contract  to  appellant  for elevator
   maintenance in the Hale  Boggs Federal Building and the  District
   Court   Building  in  New  Orleans,  Louisiana,  for  the  period
   September 1, 1993, through  August 31, 1996.  On  March 30, 1995,
   appellant's contract was terminated for default due to failure of
   appellant to satisfactorily perform the elevator maintenance.  It
   is from that decision that this appeal arises.
 
        The  Board  issued  an  order  on  further  proceedings  and
   established dates for filing  appellant's complaint, respondent's
   answer,  and  the  appeal file.    On  three  separate occasions,
   appellant was  granted extensions  of time in  which to  file its
   complaint.    On February  5,  1996,  before  the filing  of  the
   complaint, appellant filed a request for dismissal of  its appeal
   with  prejudice.   Respondent has  no  objection to  the request.
   Accordingly, this appeal is DISMISSED.  Rule 28(a).
