   Before Board Judges, PARKER, DEVINE, and GOODMAN.
 
   PARKER, Board Judge.
 
                                 ORDER
 
        On June  16, 1994, the  Board docketed this appeal  filed by
   Koll  Construction.  Koll seeks reimbursement for delays incurred
   on contract GS-09P-92-KCT-0050 for the drilling of piers.
 
        On July  8, respondent  submitted a motion  to dismiss  this
   appeal as untimely filed.
 
        On July  11, the Board  ordered appellant to show  cause why
   the appeal should not be dismissed as untimely filed.  The  order
   recited the following sequence of events:
 
             1.   By  letter  dated  November  24,  1993,  appellant
        submitted  the subject claim for $10,069 to respondent, said
        claim arising under Contract No. GS-09P-92-KCT-0050, between
        appellant and GSA.
 
             2.   By  letter dated  March 3,  1994,  GSA denied  the
   claim     by final decision,  advising the appellant that  it had
   the  right to appeal the decision to the Board within ninety days
        of receipt of the denial.
 
             3.   The denial was sent by certified mail.  The return
        receipt  signed  by   appellant  indicates  that   appellant
   received  the denial on March 7, 1994.
 
             4.   Appellant's notice  of appeal, mailed  on June  8,
        1994, was received by the Board on June 14, 1994.
 
   Appellant  was given  until  July  25 to  respond  to the  order.
   Appellant failed to respond.
 
                                DECISION
 
        This appeal was not filed  within ninety days of appellant's
   receipt of respondent's denial of appellant's claim. Accordingly,
   the Board lacks jurisdiction to  hear the appeal. 41 U.S.C.   606
   (1988).
