                           Order of Dismissal
 
        On  May  5, 1992,  Mr.  Daniels  filed  an appeal  from  the
   contracting officer's  decision of  February 6,  1992, denying  a
   claim for misdescription  against contract number GSOWF91FBE3691.
   That contract  was for the  sale of an automobile  by respondent,
   General  Services Administration.  Mr. Daniels, who purchased the
   automobile  at  an  auction,  claimed  that  the  automobile  was
   described as a 1985 model when it  was a 1983 model.  Mr. Daniels
   sought a refund of the purchase price, which was $900.00.
 
        On September 17, 1992, the parties entered into a settlement
   stipulation in which  respondent agreed to pay  appellant $450 to
   resolve the dispute.   
 
        Based on the stipulation of the parties, and Rule 28 (a)(1),
   this appeal is  DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE, to  be automatically
   converted  into  a  dismissal with  prejudice  unless  reinstated
   within ten calendar days.
