                                 ORDER
 
        This  appeal  was   filed  on  May  18,  1994,  by  Meridian
   Management Corporation  against respondent, the  General Services
   Administration  (GSA).  Appellant was awarded contract number GS-
   05P-91-GAC-0168  by  the  GSA  to provide  commercial  facilities
   management services at five locations in Michigan.  Appellant has
   appealed  the contracting officer's  decision upholding the GSA's
   deductions of  $13,528.50 from appellant's contract  payments for
   nonperformance of work.
 
        On June 20,  1994, and July 18, 1994, the  Board granted two
   separate motions  by appellant for  enlargements of time  to file
   its complaint  to enable the  parties to finalize the  terms of a
   settlement.  On August 22, 1994, appellant filed a request for  a
   dismissal without  prejudice.  Respondent has no objection to the
   request.     Accordingly,  this  appeal   is  DISMISSED   WITHOUT
   PREJUDICE.  Rule 28(a).  This dismissal shall convert to one with
   prejudice  180 days  from the  date of  this order  unless either
   party moves for reinstatement prior to the expiration of the 180-
   day period.  Rule 28(b).
