Before Board Judges PARKER, WILLIAMS, and VERGILIO.

WILLIAMS, Board Judge.

     On June 14, 1996, appellant Kennedy Kars appealed the final
decision of a General Services Administration (GSA) contracting
officer denying Kennedy Kars' claim for cancellation of a purchase
of a vehicle at Auction Sale 4KBPS95083 and a refund of the sales
price of $7,000.  Appellant claimed that the vehicle was
misdescribed. 

     The Board convened a telephonic conference on September 11,
1996, and scheduled record submissions.  On October 29, 1996, the
parties filed a settlement agreement, wherein GSA agreed to pay
Kennedy Kars the sum of $2,500 as full and complete settlement of
all claims under GSBCA 13621 and under the contract at issue.

     The parties agreed that the sum shall be paid from the
permanent indefinite judgment fund.  Both parties have executed
certificates of finality providing that they will not seek
reconsideration of, or relief from, the Board's decision and that
they will not appeal that decision.

     In accordance with Rule 36(e), the Board adopts the parties'
stipulation by decision and enters judgment as requested. 
Rule 36(e) permits the Board to adopt the parties' stipulation of
settlement, by decision, and it provides that such decisions are
adjudications of the appeal on its merits.  Strand, Inc. v. General
Services Administration, GSBCA 12434 (June 9, 1994).

     Pursuant to the stipulation of the parties, this appeal is
GRANTED IN PART.  Judgment is entered for appellant in the amount
of $2,500 to be paid, without interest, from the permanent
indefinite judgment fund, 31 U.S.C.  1304 (1994).
