By the Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

I.   Introduction

     1.  On August 22, 1994, Mr. Karl Schroll filed a petition for relief under 47 C.F.R.
 76.975 alleging that District Cablevision, Inc. has violated 47 C.F.R.  76.970 by failing
to provide a schedule of rates for commercial leased access service on its cable system in the
District of Columbia.  On February 15, 1995, the Commission received a letter from
District Cablevision Limited Partnership, (herein "District Cablevision") dated February 13,
1995, in response to the petition, stating that a commercial leased access rate card was
provided to Mr. Schroll with a letter from its General Manager dated August 29, 1994.  A
notation on District Cablevision's response letter indicates that a copy of that response was
sent to Mr. Schroll.

     2.  The information provided by District Cablevision's response indicates that Mr.
Schroll's petition for relief has been satisfied and that no further action by the Commission is
required.  By letter dated November 13, 1995, the Commission's staff requested Mr. Schroll
to provide, within thirty (30) days from the date of its letter, or by December 13, 1995, a
statement indicating whether further prosecution of the petition is required.  Mr. Schroll was
further informed that if a response were not thus filed, a decision will be made on the
existing record.  No response has been received from Mr. Schroll.

     3.  The record in this matter shows that District Cablevision provided Mr. Schroll
with the requested commercial leased access rate card by a letter dated August 29, 1994 and
thus satisfied Mr. Schroll's petition for relief.  The record further shows that Mr. Schroll has
provided nothing which indicates that any further prosecution of his petition for relief is
required.

     4.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the petition for relief of Mr. Karl Schroll in
File No. CSR 4371-L IS DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to authority delegated by
Section 0.321 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321.
