                              ORDER

    In response to the Board's order of August 29, 2005, to show cause why this case
should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, appellant's president has advised the Board
that he is withdrawing the underlying claim for this case until such time as a decision is
rendered on the claim by a contracting officer of the General Services Administration (GSA)
or until a decision is rendered by the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals on a final
decision already rendered by an ordering officer of the Defense Logistics Agency regarding
the same claim.  

    Counsel for GSA has advised the Board that he has no objection to the dismissal of this
case based on appellant's reply to the Board's Order to Show Cause.  Accordingly, this case
is DISMISSED.  Board Rule 128 (48 CFR 6101.28 (2004)).
