    DECISION             .   OF THE UNITEO       STATES

    FILE:    B-208547.2           DATE: February 1, 1983

    MATTER OF: P. Francini & Co., Inc.--Reconsideration


    DIGEST:

        Request for reconsideration by an interested
        party is dismissed where the issue was
        before a court of competent jurisdiction and
        the court, which expressed an interest in-a
        decision by GAO, has not indicated any
        interest in having GAO reconsider the
        decision.

     P. Francini & Co., Inc. (Francini), requests
reconsideration of our decision in Dawson Construction
Company, Inc., B-208547, December 20, 1982, 82-2 CPD 551.
That decision was rendered in response to an expression of
interest from the United States District Court for the
District of Massachusetts in connection with the lawsuit
brought by Dawson Construction Company under Civil Action
No. 82-2954-G. The court had issued an injunction pro-
hibiting any performance on the contract awarded to Francini
until our Office rendered a decision on the above-described
protest.

     It is our policy not to decide matters where, as here,
the material issues are before a court of competent juris-
diction. However, if the court expresses an interest in a
decision by our Office, we will then consider the riatter on
the merits. Weeks-Miller Joint Venture, B-203107, July 31,
1981, 81-2 CPD 76.

     Here, the court did express an interest in having a
decision by our Office. Francini participated as an inter-
ested party in the matter prior to the rendering of our
decision. Francini now requests that we reconsider the
decision. However, since the decision was issued in
response to the court's request and the court has not
indicated any interest in our reconsidering the prior deci-
sion, we will take no further action on the merits of this
matter. Tacoma Boatbuilding Co.--Request for Reconsidera-
tion, B-199445.6, December 10, 1980, 30-2 CPD 420.
