Administration, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent.

GOODMAN, Board Judge. 

                                   ORDER

     On September 18, 1996, appellant attended a General Services
Administration car auction and was the successful bidder on two
sales for a total amount of $1,300.  Appellant states that she bid
on two cars that she was interested in, mistakenly thinking that
she could then choose which car she wished to purchase.  She
further states that the auction official told her she had to
purchase both cars and that she offered to buy one, but was unable
to do so and left without purchasing either car.

     On March 25, 1997, the Government issued a notice of default
to appellant requesting payment of $1,300 by April 4, 1997, and
stating that failure to cure the default would result in a demand
for liquidated damages.  On April 7, the contracting officer issued
a final decision which terminated the contract and demanded $260 in
liquidated damages from appellant.  She filed an appeal with this
Board on May 14.  Counsel for respondent notified the Board and
appellant on June 4 that the contracting officer retracted his
final decision, and on June 9 filed a motion to dismiss.  Appellant
was contacted and posed no objection to the Board dismissing the
appeal upon motion of respondent.  Accordingly, pursuant to Rule
128(a), this appeal is DISMISSED.
