                                                Appellant,
 
                                   v.
 
                    GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION,
 
                                                Respondent.
 
        Don R.  Robideau, Vice President of  Executive Construction,
   Inc., Oak Brook, IL, appearing for Appellant.
 
        Catherine  C.  Crow,  Office  of  General  Counsel,  General
   Services Administration, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent.
 
   DANIELS, Board Judge (Chairman).
 
        Executive  Construction,  Inc.  (Executive) entered  into  a
   contract  with  the  General  Services  Administration  (GSA)  to
   complete installation of an elevator capture system at the United
   States   Post  Office  (Loop   Station)  in   Chicago,  Illinois.
   Executive claimed that  it was entitled  to be paid  for work  it
   performed  to modify  construction  which had  been  done by  its
   predecessor  contractor consistent  with  shop  drawings GSA  had
   approved.
 
        Executive advanced two arguments in support of its position.
   In  ruling  on  a motion  for  summary relief  filed  by  GSA, we
   rejected one of these arguments and explained what the contractor
   would have to prove in order to prevail on the other.   Executive
   Construction,  Inc.  v.  General  Services Administration,  GSBCA
   15224 (June 9, 2000).
 
        Subsequently, Executive  acknowledged that it could not make
   the requisite showing as to  its second argument.  The contractor
   therefore asked that the case be dismissed.
 
        We grant this request.  The case is DISMISSED.
