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 Jones Intercable, 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
Alexandria, Virginia.  On February 28, 1995, the Commission received from counsel for
Jones Intercable, Inc. (herein "Jones Intercable") a response to the petition, stating that
commercial leased access rate information was provided to Mr. Schroll by letter dated
September 21, 1994.  The record indicates that a copy of that response was sent to Mr.
Schroll.

     2.  The information provided by Jones Intercable'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 Jones Intercable provided Mr. Schroll with
the requested commercial leased access rate information by letter dated September 21, 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 4374-L IS DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to authority delegated by
Section 0.321 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321.
