                                 ORDER
 
        J.A. Jones Management Services filed this appeal on June 24,
   1994, from the contracting officer's final decision  of March 31,
   1994,  directing  J.A.  Jones  Management  Services  to  continue
   performance under  the terms of  Option I  of the contract.   The
   dispute arises from GSA's failure to provide written notification
   of  the exercise  of the option  prior to  the expiration  of the
   contract  performance in accordance with the notice provisions of
   the contract.
 
        On December 15, 1994, the  parties, having settled the case,
   submitted  a  joint  stipulation  to  dismiss  this  appeal  with
   prejudice.  
 
        Pursuant to Rule 28(a)(1) and  the agreement of the parties,
   this appeal is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
