                                 ORDER
 
        On June  23, 1994, the  Board docketed this appeal  filed by
   Pleion Corporation, from a decision  by a contracting officer for
   the General Services Administration.  Pleion Corporation disputes
   the price reduction for services performed under contract no. GS-
   OOF-84009.
 
        On  July 7,  1994, the  Board received  a joint  request for
   dismissal without prejudice in lieu of stay  or suspension, which
   provided as follows:
 
             Pursuant  to   Rule  27(c)  of   this  Board,
             Appellant respectfully requests that, in lieu
             of issuing  an order  suspending proceedings,
             that  the  Board  dismiss  the  case  without
             prejudice  subject  to  reinstatement  within
             sixty-days.
 
             The  parties  are presently  undergoing  good
             faith   settlement  negotiations.     It   is
 
             Appellant's desire to continue to pursue such
             discussions  directly  with the  GSA  without
             counsel or Board supervision.
 
             Based upon the  foregoing Appellant, requests
             that the Board's dismissal be with  prejudice
             only  in  the event  that  the  [sic] neither
             party seeks  reinstatement within  sixty days
             from issuance of the order.
 
        In accordance with the  request of the parties,  this appeal
   is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.  Rule 28(a).  The dismissal shall
   convert to  a  dismissal with  prejudice  on September  6,  1994,
   unless it is refiled prior to that date.
