  MATTER   OF:  The Stanwick Corporation


  DIGEST:

      Protest is dismissed where protester files
      request for relief in court of competent
      jurisdiction involving same material issues
      as protest and court has not indicated any
      interest in GAO decision.


      The Stanwick Corporation (Stanwick) has protested
 the award of a contract to M. Rosenblatt & Son, Inc.,
 under solicitation No. N00123-80-R-0193 issued by the
 Department of the Navy. Subsequent to filing its pro-
 test, Stanwick also sought a temporary restraining
 order, a preliminary injunction, permanent injunctive
 relief and a declaratory judgment in the United States
 District Court for the District of Columbia, Civil
 Action No. 80-2625, thereby placing the material issues
 involved in the protest before the court.

      It is the policy of this Office not to decide
 protests where the material issues are before a court
 of competent jurisdiction unless the court requests,
 expects, or otherwise expresses an interest in our
 decision. 4 C.F.R. S 20.10 (1980); E.A. Ellis
 Contractors, Inc., B-197445, March 11, 1980, 80-1
 CPD 189. Usually, the expectation or expression of
 n terest results from the gr nting of a plaintiff's
[request for injunctive relief pending our decision,
see.  e.g., KET. Incorporate d , 58 Comp. Gen. 38 (1978),
78-2  CPD 305, or from some other affirmative indication
that  the court is interested in our views. See, e.g.,
GTE  Sylvania, Inc., 57 Comp. Gen. 715 (1977), 77-2
CPD  422; J. Baranello & Sons, 58 Comp. Gen. 509 (1979),
79-1  CPD 322.
