                                   ORDER


       Adopted:       September 30, 1997                    Released:  October 10, 1997

By the Commission:


       1.  Pending before the Commission is an application for review filed by PC Fixx, Inc.,
seeking review of an Order by the Compliance and Information Bureau that affirmed a
forfeiture in the amount of $16,000 against PC Fixx Clearance Center. 9 FCC Rcd 2056
(1994) (Order).  In its Order, the Bureau affirmed the Notice of Forfeiture assessed by the
Seattle Field Office for violations of Section 302 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, (Act)  47 U.S.C.  302, and Section 2.803 of the Commission's rules for marketing
unauthorized equipment.  PC Fixx Inc. contends that the Bureau erred in its Order by not
reviewing all of the facts at issue.  In addition, PC Fixx, Inc. contends that the forfeiture is
excessive because it had no record of previous violations, it had been operating for only a
brief period of time before the Notice of Apparent Liability was issued, and other entities
have received smaller forfeitures for similar violations pursuant to the Commission's 1993
Forfeiture Policy Statement. 8 FCC Rcd 6215 (1993).  Moreover, PC Fixx, Inc. noted that it
went out of business on May 1, 1994.  For these reasons, PC Fixx Inc. seeks mitigation or
cancellation of the forfeiture.        

       2.   The Commission has verified that PC Fixx, Inc. is no longer a business entity.  In
the circumstances, and given the time that has elapsed since the issuance of the Notice of
Apparent Liability in 1993, the Commission declines further prosecution of this case.

       3.  ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that the Forfeiture Order issued to PC Fixx,
Inc. IS CANCELLED and the Application for Review filed by PC Fixx, Inc. IS
DISMISSED AS MOOT.  

       4.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall be sent certified
mail, return-receipt requested, to counsel of record for PC Fixx, Inc. at the time it filed the
instant Application for Review.
