   GOODMAN, Board Judge.
 
        On  December 29,  1995,  Tri-State Motor  Transit  Co. (Tri-
   State)  submitted  a voucher for  a primary claim  in the sum  of
   $2,690.90 and  an alternate claim  in the sum  of $165.90  to the
   Defense  Finance  and  Accounting   Service  (DFAS).    Tri-State
   submitted  the  supplemental  claims  seeking  reimbursement  for
   additional transportation charges on Government bill of lading D-
   0,908,413.   DFAS did not  pay the  supplemental claims and  Tri-
   State  filed a claim with  the  General Services Administration's
   (GSA's) Office of Transportation Audits (OTA).  GSA  OTA issued a
   settlement  certificate allowing the  alternate claim of $165.90,
   but deneid  the primary claim  of $2,690.90.   Tri-State filed  a
   request for review  at this Board.  By letter  dated November 26,
   1997,  in response  to Tri-State's  request for  review, GSA  OTA
   stated  that  it had  reviewed  the record  and  was consequently
   issuing  a  settlement  certificate  for $2,525,  the  difference
   between  the primary  claim and  the  alternate claim,  which was
   previously paid.
 
        On April 9, 1998, GSA OTA  provided the Board with a copy of
   the settlement certificate.  Accordingly, the claim is dismissed.
