Adopted:  March 4, 1996                 Released:  March 12, 1996

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 Comcast Cable Communications of Philadelphia, 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 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  On March 1, 1995, the
Commission received a letter from the Deputy General Counsel for Comcast Corporation,
(herein "Comcast") dated February 23, 1995, in response to the petition, stating that
commercial leased access rate information was provided to Mr. Schroll on October 24, 1994. 
A certificate of service provided with the response indicates that a copy of that response was
sent to Mr. Schroll.

     2.  The information provided by Comcast'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 Comcast provided Mr. Schroll with the
requested commercial leased access rate information on October 24, 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 4372-L IS DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to authority delegated by
Section 0.321 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321.
