NEILL, Board Judge.

                              ORDER

    This case concerns a claim by the General Services Administration (GSA) for the cost
of correcting certain design deficiencies associated with the United States Courthouse project
in Corpus Christi, Texas.  

    Counsel for appellant now advises the Board that, in view of GSA's agreement to
withdraw the contracting officer's decision without prejudice, appellant withdraws this appeal
without prejudice so that settlement can be achieved through negotiation and/or mediation. 

    Accordingly, pursuant to Board Rule 128(b) (48 CFR 6101.28(b) (2003)), this case is
DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

                                 __________________________
