ORDER
                
Adopted:  March 31, 1995                          Released:  April 3, 1995

By the Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

     1.  On June 9, 1994, Paragon Cable ("Paragon") filed an appeal of the local rate
order, adopted May 10, 1994 by the Public Cable Television Authority ("PCTA") regulating
basic service and equipment rates in the above-captioned communities.  In the local rate
order, the PCTA established regulated rates for basic cable service and associated equipment,
provided by Paragon, as allowed by the Cable Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992.  The local order required Paragon to reduce the rates charged for
basic cable service and equipment.

     2.  On July 13, 1994, Paragon filed with the Commission a motion to withdraw its
earlier-filed appeal and stay request.  In its motion, Paragon explained that an appeal and
stay are no longer necessary because the PCTA issued "a revised rate ordinance, which
remedied some of the problems previously identified by Paragon."  There being no
opposition, Paragon's Motion to Withdraw is granted.

     3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT Paragon Cable's Motion to withdraw
appeal and stay of the Local Rate Order for the Cities of Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach,
Stanton and West Minister, California IS GRANTED.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED
THAT Paragon Cable's appeal of the local rate order 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.
