                                 ORDER
 
        This appeal,  involving a  claim for  payment of  additional
   money under  a contract for  modifications and repairs to  a ship
   owned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, was
   dismissed without prejudice on November 5, 1998.  Under the terms
   of  the dismissal  order, the  dismissal was  to become  one with
   prejudice 180 days after that date, unless either party requested
   a reinstatement earlier.
 
        On January  19, 1999, appellant  notified the Board  that it
   had received  from respondent  payment pursuant  to a  settlement
   agreement.    Appellant  asked that  the  dismissal  be converted
   immediately to one  with prejudice to reinstatement.   Respondent
   does not object to the request.
 
        The case is now DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.  Rule 128.
