                                 ORDER
 
        On September 8, 1994, appellant,  Craigshire Plaza Partners,
   and  respondent,  the  General  Services  Administration   (GSA),
   entered into a lease agreement for office and related space in an
   office complex in  St. Louis, Missouri.   Under the terms  of the
   agreement, GSA  was to occupy  30,105 square feet of  the complex
   and pay rent  to appellant from October 1, 1994, to September 30,
   2001.  In January 1997, GSA exercised its option to terminate the
   lease, effective  September 30,  1997, and  a supplemental  lease
   agreement (SLA) was executed by the parties, with GSA agreeing to
   pay appellant  a lump sum  and continue to make  monthly payments
   for two  more months  in consideration of  such termination.   On
   March 3, 1997, GSA notified appellant that it was terminating the
   lease  effective  February 1, 1997,  and would  not make  the two
   monthly  installment payments  as agreed  to  under SLA  #6.   On
   May 14,  1997, appellant  submitted  a  claim  to  GSA  totalling
   $84,914.65 in back  rental payments allegedly due from  GSA.  The
   claim  was denied  on June  11,  1997, and  appellant filed  this
   appeal on  September 9, 1997.   The appeal was docketed  as GSBCA
   14305.
 
                                                                   2
 
        On  April 13, 1998, the Government  asserted a claim against
   appellant  seeking   $24,585.76  as  an   adjustment  for  vacant
   premises.  The claim was affirmed by the contracting officer in a
   final decision dated May  4, 1998.  Appellant filed  an appeal of
   that  decision with  the Board  on  May 26,  1998, and  requested
   consolidation  of the  two cases.   This  appeal was  docketed as
   GSBCA 14591.  The  two appeals were consolidated by the  Board on
   June 1, 1998.
 
        On  September 1,  1998,   the Board,  at the  parties' joint
   request,  convened an  alternative dispute  resolution proceeding
   which resulted in  a settlement of the consolidated  appeals.  On
   September 28, the  parties filed a joint  stipulation and request
   for dismissal of both appeals.
 
        Accordingly,  pursuant to  Rule  128(a), these  appeals  are
   DISMISSED.
