        On November 23, 1992, the  Board docketed an appeal filed by
   Sanitation Technicians from  a contracting officer's  decision of
   October   8,  1992,  claiming   $1,400  in  overpayment   by  the
   respondent, the General Services  Administration (GSA), for  work
   under  contract  number  GS05P90SDC0059  at  the Social  Security
   Administration  Office,  Chicago,  Illinois.   In  its  notice of
   appeal, the  appellant alleged  that the value  of extra  work it
   performed under the  contract exceeded the amount claimed  by the
   respondent.
 
        On December  21, 1992,  the respondent  orally informed  the
   Board  that the  parties were  settling the  appeal and  would be
   requesting dismissal.  
 
        On January 6, 1993,  the Board received a  signed settlement
   agreement  and joint stipulation  of dismissal from  the parties,
   which states:
 
             In  accordance  with  the  "Settlement  Agreement"
        between the  parties, executed  and dated  December 23,
        1992,  and  Rule   28(a)  of  this  Board's   Rules  of
        Procedure,  the  parties  jointly move  this  Board  to
 
        dismiss  the  subject  appeal without  prejudice  to be
        converted to a dismissal with prejudice forty-five (45)
        days after the date of this dismissal without prejudice
        unless  either party  moves  for reinstatement  of  the
        subject appeal within that time period.
 
        Accordingly,   the  appeal   is  hereby   DISMISSED  WITHOUT
   PREJUDICE.  Rule  28(a).  The appeal  shall be deemed to  be with
   prejudice on  February 22, 1993, unless reinstated with the Board
   by either party on or before that date.
