        On September  8,  1992,  International  Software  Technology
   (IST) protested the  Department of Justice's award of  a contract
   for  data entry  software.   Award  was  made  on July  29,  with
   notification of award made that day.  
 
        We convened a  prehearing conference,  and discussed,  among
   other  subjects,  the  timeliness of  the  protest.   Protester's
   counsel agreed  to review  the timeliness  issues presented.   On
   September 22, counsel for the  parties filed a motion to dismiss,
   having stipulated  in the  motion that the  protest had  not been
   filed in a timely manner.  
 
        Pursuant to  Rule 28  and the request  of the  parties, this
   protest is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
