                    GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION,
 
                                                Respondent.
 
        Peter   Fraser  of  Gateway   Resources,  San  Anselmo,  CA,
   appearing for Appellant.
 
        Martin  Hom, Office  of  General  Counsel, General  Services
   Administration, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent.
 
   Before Board Judges LaBELLA, PARKER, and WILLIAMS.
 
   LaBELLA, Board Judge.
 
        Appellant  entered into  Lease  No.  GS-09B-90853 to  occupy
   space  located at 1007  Third Street  in San  Rafael, California.
   Appel- lant's lease was terminated   for default by the contract-
   ing officer's  decision dated October  16, 1991.  This  appeal of
   that  decision was  filed with  the  Board on  January 13,  1992,
   against the General Services Administration.
 
        Appellant was granted  numerous extensions to file  its com-
   plaint.   On May 20, 1993,  the Board issued a  Prehearing Order-
   Notice of Hearing scheduling a  hearing in this appeal for August
   16, 1993.  On August 5, 1993, at appellant's  request, an Amended
   Prehearing  Order Amended  Notice of Hearing  was issued  in this
   appeal rescheduling the hearing for  October 25, 1993.  The Board
   contacted appellant on  October 6, 1993, to  ascertain its inten-
   tions regarding this appeal because appellant  had failed to meet
   various  deadlines established in the Board's  order of August 5,
   1993.  Appellant  informed the Board's staff that  it intended to
   withdraw  its appeal no later  than October 13,  1993, but it has
   failed to  submit such  a withdrawal.   On October 14,  1993, the
   Board  issued an  Order to  Show Cause.   The  order stated  that
   appellant had failed to 
   meet  several new  and  extended  deadlines  established  in  the
   Board's August 5 order for proceeding  with the hearing scheduled
   for October 25,  1993.  Appellant was directed to  show cause why
   this case should  not be dismissed for failure  to prosecute, due
   to appellant's failure to proceed with this case, or to  file the
   required acknowledgement  of the notice  of hearing.    Appellant
   was  directed to  respond  to  the Board's  show  cause order  by
   October 21,  1993, and  that failure to  respond would  result in
   dismissal of its  appeal.  To date the Board has not received any
   response from  appellant or  other indication  that is  wishes to
   proceed with this appeal.
 
 
 
        Accordingly,  this appeal is DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO PROSE-
   CUTE.  Rule 28(b)(1).
