By the Chief, Consumer Protection and Competition Division, Cable Services Bureau:

     1.   On March 31, 1999, Televents, Inc. d/b/a TCI Cablevision of California, ("TCI-C") and
Contra Costa County (the "County") jointly moved to terminate Commission review of three local rate orders

for three of its Contra Costa County cable systems: TCI Cablevision of Contra Costa County (appeal filed

March 26, 1998), and Televents, Inc. d/b/a TCI Cablevision of California (appeal filed March 26, 1998).  TCI
also filed with each appeal a request for emergency stay of the local rate orders.  TCI states that it has reached
an acceptable resolution of this matter with the County and that further Commission review of the underlying
dispute is no longer necessary.  TCI-C and the County withdraw all such appeals, stay requests, as well as all
subsequent filings related these proceedings. 
 
     2.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Joint Motion to Withdraw Appeals of  Local Rate
Orders filed by Televents, Inc. d/b/a TCI Cablevision of California and Contra Costa County, CA IS
GRANTED and the Appeals and Requests for Emergency Stay filed by TCI Cablevision of Contra Costa
County, Heritage Cablevision of Delaware, and Televents, Inc. ARE DISMISSED.

     3.   This action is taken by the Chief, Consumer Protection and Competition Division, Cable
Services Bureau, pursuant to authority delegated by Section 0.321 of the Commission's rules.  47 C.F.R.
