                    LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,

                                             Appellant,

                                v.

                   DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY,

                                             Respondent.

     Carlyle C. Ring, Jr., of Ober, Kaler, Grimes & Shriver, Washington, DC, counsel for
Appellant.

     Lori A. Larson, Holly L. Hagen, and Eric C. Crane, General Legal Services, Internal
Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent.

DANIELS, Board Judge (Chairman).

     The Department of the Treasury's Internal Revenue Service terminated for the
convenience of the Government a contract with Lucent Technologies, Inc. (Lucent), for the
provision of a digital telecommunications switching system.  The parties to the contract then
entered into a termination settlement which excludes all rights and liabilities relating to a
request for an equitable adjustment to the contract price which had been made by Lucent on
behalf of subcontractor Telecommunications Management Associates, Inc. (now TMA Net,
Inc.).  Lucent submitted this request for an equitable adjustment as a claim, the contracting
officer denied it, and Lucent appealed the contracting officer's decision to this Board.

     After an exchange of documents, counsel and their technical experts entered into
discussions regarding the claim.  On January 13, 2003, the parties filed a joint motion to
dismiss the case.  In the motion, the parties report that "the matter has been settled by mutual
agreement."

     The motion is granted.  The case is DISMISSED.
