BORWICK, Board Judge.

                                   ORDER

     On October 22, 1996, this Board received the appeal from a
decision of the General Services Administration (GSA) contracting
officer dated June 22, and delivered to the appellant on June 22. 
Respondent filed a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction on
the ground that the appeal was filed at this Board more than ninety
days after receipt of the contracting officer's decision.  To avoid
jurisdictional problems, the contracting officer issued a new
decision on appellant's claim, and appellant filed a new appeal at
this Board, which we docketed as GSBCA 14096.  Appellant seeks
dismissal of this appeal without prejudice to appellant's right to
pursue GSBCA 14096.  Respondent agrees.  This appeal is DISMISSED. 
This dismissal does not affect appellant's right to maintain the
appeal docketed as GSBCA 14096.
