              In the Matter of TRI-STATE MOTOR TRANSIT CO.
 
 
        Robert  D. Norcom,  Auditor,  Tri-State  Motor Transit  Co.,
   Joplin, MO, appearing for Claimant.
 
        Jeffrey  J.  Thurston,  Director,  Office of  Transportation
   Audits,   General   Services  Administration,   Washington,   DC,
   appearing for General Services Administration.
 
        Col.  James F.  Quinn, Staff  Judge Advocate,  Headquarters,
   Military  Traffic Management  Command,  Department of  the  Army,
   Falls Church, VA, appearing for Department of Defense.
 
   VERGILIO, Board Judge.
 
        The  claimant, Tri-State Motor  Transit Co.,  sought payment
   for additional transportation charges  under two Government bills
   of  lading  (GBLs).    Tri-State  has  received  certificates  of
   settlement which are  acceptable to it for each  of the two GBLs.
   Although Tri-State  asserts  that as  of November  26, 1997,  its
   records indicate that  payment has been received for  only one of
   the certificates, it  has not proposed to keep  this matter open.
   Given that  Tri-State  has received  acceptable  certificates  of
   settlement,  there  no longer  is  a  matter  for this  Board  to
   resolve.  Accordingly, the Board dismisses this claim.
