DATE: SEPTEMBER 21, 2000
RE: PETITION OF MCI AND AT&T TO CERTIFY LECs’ COMPLIANCE WITH FCC PAY PHONE ORDERS. CASE NO. GNR-T-97-5.
On April 11, 1997, MCI Telecommunications Corporation and AT & T Communications Inc. filed an Emergency Petition to certify that certain LECs were complying with FCC Payphone Orders. On August 29, 1997, the Commission issued a Notice of Joint Petition and Notice of Prehearing Conference. On October 19, 1999, MCI filed a request for a prehearing conference and since that time no further action or progress has occurred in this case.
On September 21, 2000, Commission Staff received correspondence from MCI’s counsel Dean J. Miller who advised that this matter has been resolved in the context of companion litigation in another state and therefore it can be closed. Miller also states that Eileen Benner of AT&T concurs with this result. Accordingly, based on this information Staff recommends that this matter be closed.
Commission Decision:
Does the Commission wish to close this case based on the representation of the parties?
