        On June 14, 1993, Ebon Research Systems filed a protest with
   the Board  regarding  actions of  the  Department of  Justice  in
   awarding a contract for asset forfeiture program support services
   to a company  other than protester, the  incumbent contractor and
   an offeror.
 
        On  June  18,  1993, protester  filed  a  withdrawal  of its
   protest requesting a  dismissal with prejudice.   The agency does
   not object.
 
        Accordingly,  the  protest is  DISMISSED  WITH  PREJUDICE to
   reinstatement at the Board; the  Board has not reached the merits
   of the protest.
