                             ORDER 


   Adopted:  October 15, 1999           Released:  October 15, 1999

By the Deputy Chief, Policy and Rules Branch, Commercial Wireless Division, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau:  

     1.   On May 30, 1997, Radiofone, Inc. (Radiofone) filed a request for stay (Request for Stay)
of the effectiveness of:  (a) the dismissals of Radiofone's captioned applications for additional 929.6875
MHz paging facilities; (b) the denial of Radiofone's waiver request that would have made it possible for
Radiofone to expand its 929.6875 MHz regional paging system; and (c) any auctions involving these
licenses and/or the frequency 929.6875 MHz.  On June 10, 1997, Greenline Partners, Inc. (Greenline) filed
a Partial Opposition to the Request for Stay.  For the reasons discussed below, we dismiss Radiofone's
Request for Stay as moot.     

     2.   Radiofone requests the stay pending action of its petition for partial reconsideration filed
on April 22, 1997 (April 22 Petition).  In the April 22 Petition, Radiofone sought reconsideration of a
March 24, 1997 decision by the Licensing Division of the Land Mobile Branch (Branch), Private Radio
Bureau, denying Radiofone's request for a waiver of the paging expansion provisions as established by the
Commission's First Report and Order, in WT Docket No. 96-18, released April 23, 1996. That petition
was denied on September 21, 1999.

     3.   Radiofone also requests the stay pending action of nine petitions seeking reconsideration of
the Branch's decision to dismiss the captioned applications.  In those petitions for reconsideration,
Radiofone argued that the Branch should not have dismissed the applications, but, instead, should have
retained them as pending until final disposition of Greenline's waiver request.  Those nine petitions for
reconsideration were denied on October 8, 1999.  Accordingly, the Request for Stay is dismissed as moot.
 
     4.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to authority delegated by section 4(i) of the
Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), and by sections 0.331 and 1.43 of the Commission's
rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.331, 1.43, the Request for Stay filed by Radiofone, Inc. on May 30, 1997, IS
DISMISSED as moot.
