MATTER  OF:   Reliable Trash Service-f- equest for
               reconsideration
DIGEST:

     Since court has not ind'cated any interest
     in GAO's reconsideration of prior decision
     rendered in response to iant-ia4-eese     e//s      j
     of interest from court, GAO will not recon-
     sider decision.

     Reliable Trash Service (Reliable) requests recon-
sideration of our decision in the matter of Reliable
Trash Service, B-194760, August 9, 1979. That decision
was rendered in response to an expression of interest
from the United States District Court for the District
of Columbia in connection withfCihi- Action No. 79-1402,, >
entitled Shayne v. Stetson, et al.                       /97)

     It is our policy not to decide matters where, as
here, the material issues are before a court of com-
petent jurisdiction. However, if the court expresses
an interest in a decision by our Office, we will then
consider the matter on the merits. See Dynatrend, Inc.,
B-192038, January 3, 1979, 79-1 CPD 4.

     Here, the presiding judge did express an interest
in our decision, and we therefore rendered the above-
mentioned decision which denied Reliable's protest.
Reliable on its own behalf now requests reconsidera-
tion.  However, since our prior decision was in response
to the court's request and the court has not indicated
an interest in our Office reconsidering the decision,
we will take no further action on the merits of this
matter.  Sea-Land Service, Inc.--request for reconsid-
eration, B-192149, December 19, 1978, 78-2 CPD 421.

     We do wish, however, to clarify our prior
decision's statement concerning the Air Force's denial
of Reliable's allegation that the successful bidder was
privy to bid information and advice that was not made
available to the other bidders. Reliable contends that
we based our conclusion that all bidders were treated
