I.   INTRODUCTION

     1.   On June 13, 1994, Meredith/New Heritage Strategic Partners, L.P.
("Meredith"), the operator of a cable television system serving the Minnesota communities
identified above, filed with the Commission an appeal of the local rate order adopted by
Ramsey/Washington Suburban Cable Commission ("RWSCC"), on May 12, 1994.   The
local order established Meredith's rates for basic cable service, equipment, installations and
hourly service charges, as allowed by the Cable Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992. 
     
     2.   On April 7, 1995, Meredith filed with the Commission a motion to dismiss its
earlier-filed appeal.  In its motion, Meredith states that it no longer wishes to dispute
RWSCC's rate order and requests that the Commission dismiss its appeal.  There being no
opposition, Meredith's motion to dismiss is granted.
