                        MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER


       Adopted:  May 1, 1995        Released:  May 4, 1995

By the Chief, Financial Analysis and Compliance Division, Cable Services Bureau:

       1.  In this Order we dismiss the complaint against the price that the above-captioned
operator ("Operator") was charging for its cable programming service ("CPS") tier in the
community designated above on the ground that the complaint concern a rate that is outside
the jurisdiction and authority of this Commission.  The Commission regulates rates for CPS
only, and then only upon filing of a valid complaint.  Our review reveals that the complaint
filed against Operator, while asserting that they challenge CPS rates, challenge only rates for
basic service, not for CPS.  In particular, the record shows that Operator offered only a basic
tier of service, and not a CPS tier, in this community.  The complaint therefore does not
trigger the Commission's jurisdiction.

     2.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 623(a)(2)(A) and (B) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  543(a)(2)(A) and (B), that the
complaint filed prior to May 15, 1994, against the cable programming service prices charged
by Operator in the community referenced in the caption ARE DISMISSED.

     3.  This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Section 0.321 of the
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321.
