      Before me for review is the Recommended Order of Dismissal

1991, in this case arising under the employee protection provision of
the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended, 42 U.S.C.  5851
(1988).  The ALJ recommended that this case be dismissed with
prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Clv. P. 41(a)(1)(ii), governing
voluntary dismissals by stipulation of the parties. The ALJ, in his
R.O.D., referred to documents submitted by the parties which
establish that both parties had stipulated to a dismissal with
prejudice, and that no settlement is involved in the case.
      Upon consideration, I agree that this case be, and it hereby
is, DISMISSED. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a) (1) (ii); Scott v. American
