DANIELS, Board Judge.

     Pat Mathis Construction Co., Inc., appealed a decision by a contracting officer of the
Department of the Treasury's Federal Law Enforcement Training Center which terminated
for default a contract between the parties for the construction of a new dormitory on the
grounds of the Training Center.

     The parties agreed to submit the case to alternative dispute resolution (ADR), with a
Board judge serving as mediator.  On October 26, 2001, in the course of an ADR session, the
parties entered into a settlement agreement.  


     On January 8, 2002, the parties filed a joint motion to dismiss the appeal with
prejudice.

     The motion is granted.  The appeal is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
