                            SAM'S ELECTRIC,
 
                                                Appellant,
 
                                   v.
 
                    GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION,
 
                                                Respondent.
 
        Samy  Vunderman, Manager  of  Sam's  Electric, Hayward,  CA,
   appearing for Appellant.
 
        Thomas Hawkins, Office of Regional Counsel, General Services
   Administration, San Francisco, CA, counsel for Respondent.
 
   DANIELS, Board Judge (Chairman).
 
                                 ORDER
 
        The  General  Services Administration  took  a deduction  of
   $6,784.80 from  payments due Sam's Electric under  a contract for
   mechanical  maintenance at  the  National  Archives  and  Records
   Center in San  Bruno, California.  The deduction  was for failure
   to  perform  periodic  maintenance  of  the roof  systems.    The
   contractor appealed the decision to this Board.
 
        On April 19, the parties  informed the Board in a telephonic
   conference that they had agreed to a settlement of the case, such
   that the  amount of the  deduction will be greatly  reduced.  The
   parties agreed  to file  promptly a joint  motion to  dismiss the
   appeal.     Notwithstanding  the   Board's  numerous   telephonic
   reminders to the parties of this promise, no such motion has ever
   been filed.
 
        Appellant  elected to  have the  case  considered under  the
   small claims procedure.   41 U.S.C.   608 (1988);  Board Rule 13.
   In accordance with that procedure, the Board is to dispose of the
   case within 120 days  of the date of election -- by  June 28.  To
   comply  with the  statutory  mandate,  we  now DISMISS  the  case
   WITHOUT PREJUDICE.   Rule 27(c).   Unless either  party requests,
   prior  to July  28, that  the case  be reinstated,  the dismissal
   shall become one with prejudice to reinstatement on that date.
