                           Order of Dismissal
 
        This appeal was filed  on January 13,  1993.  It involves  a
   claim by Thomas Cirafici.   Mr. Cirafici purchased an  automobile
   during an auction held by the General Services Administration  on
   August 19, 1992, at  the Union Plaza Hotel in  Las Vegas, Nevada.
   Mr. Cirafici filed this appeal after determining that the vehicle
   he had purchased needed repairs  to the cooling system, the spare
   tire, and the brakes.  
 
        On March 31, 1993, counsel for respondent provided the Board
   with a  stipulation for dismissal  based upon settlement  of this
   case.  
    
        Accordingly,  pursuant   to  Rule  28(a),  this   appeal  is
   dismissed  without prejudice,  to  become  with  prejudice  if  a
   request to reinstate this case is not  made by one of the parties
   within sixty days from the date of this order.
