By the Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

     1.  On August 11, 1994, Ventura County Cablevision ("Ventura") filed an appeal of
the local rate order, adopted on July 12, 1994 by Ventura's franchising authority, the City of
Ojai, California ("Ojai").  In the local rate order, Ojai established regulated rates for basic
cable service and associated equipment, provided by Ventura, as allowed by the Cable
Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 ("1992 Cable Act").  The
local order requires Ventura to implement certain rate reductions and to issue refunds to
subscribers for overcharges levied for a time period dating back to September 1, 1993.

     2.  On January 23, 1995, Ventura filed with the Commission a motion to dismiss its
earlier filed appeal and stay request.  In its motion, Ventura states that ". . . Ojai has
amended the challenged local cable rate order, obviating [Ventura]'s need to prosecute an
appeal."  There being no opposition, Ventura's Motion to Dismiss is granted.   

     3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Ventura County Cablevision's Appeal of the
Local Rate Order of the City of Ojai, California IS DISMISSED.  IT IS FURTHER
ORDERED that Ventura County Cablevision's Request for Emergency Stay IS
DISMISSED.  

     4.  This action is taken by the Chief, Cable Services Bureau, pursuant to authority
delegated by Section 0.321 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321.
