              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.
 
        Colonel James F. Quinn, Staff Judge Advocate,  Headquarters,
   Military Traffic  Management  Command, Department  of  the  Army,
   Falls Church, VA, appearing for Department of Defense.
 
   DANIELS, Board Judge (Chairman).
        Tri-State Motor Transit Co. asked us to review the denial by
   the General  Services Administration's  Office of  Transportation
   Audits  (OTA) of  twenty-five claims  relating  to the  carrier's
   transportation of heavy expanded mobility ammunition trailers for
   units of the Department of Defense.  We granted twenty-two of the
   claims.   Because  OTA  had  not yet  rendered  decisions on  the
   remaining  three claims,  we  dismissed  without  prejudice  Tri-
   State's  request for  review of  those matters.   In  taking this
   action,  we noted,  "If,  after  OTA resolves  any  of the  three
   claims, Tri-State  is  dissatisfied with  the determination,  the
   carrier  may ask  us to  review OTA's  action."   Tri-State Motor
   Transit Co., GSBCA 14352-RATE (Jan. 6, 1998).
 
        Subsequently, Tri-State  received OTA denials of those three
   claims and  asked us to  review the agency's determinations.   In
   response,  OTA   changed  its  position   and  issued  settlement
   certificates  which state  that  "there is  due  from the  United
   States" to Tri-State the amounts claimed.
 
        Since the  claimant no  longer objects  to the  Government's
   determination as to these three claims, we dismiss the case.
