ORDER
                
Adopted:  April 4, 1995                           Released:  April 6, 1995

By the Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

     1.  On April 20, 1994, TCI of West Michigan, Inc. ("TCI/WM") filed an appeal of
the local rate orders, adopted March 21, 1994, by the municipalities identified above.  In the
local rate orders, the municipalities established regulated rates for basic cable service and
associated equipment, provided by TCI/WM, as allowed by the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992.  The local orders required TCI/WM to reduce the
rates charged for basic cable service and equipment.

     2.  On March 20, 1995, TCI/WM filed with the Commission a motion to dismiss its
earlier-filed appeal.  In its motion, TCI/WM explained that the parties had reached
agreement on a settlement.  There being no opposition, TCI/WM's Motion to Dismiss is
granted.

     4.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT TCI/WM's Motion to dismiss appeal of 
the Local Rate Order for the municipalities of Michigan IS DISMISSED.

     



     5.  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.
