The Commission may return or dismiss Progeny LMS's application if it is found, upon further examination, to be defective or not in conformance with the Commission's Rules. See 47 C.F.R.  90.161(b)(6). Progeny LMS was the winning bidder in 231 markets in the LMS auction, Auction No. 21. Progeny LMS initially filed a long-form application identifying Curtis Johnson as its CEO and contact person. The initial long-form application also identified Progeny Post and Lawrence Green as sole members of Progeny LMS. The long-form application further indicated that Otto Frenzel had an indirect interest in Progeny Post and stated that Frenzel "loaned" approximately $1.35 million to Progeny Post and also executed a note to LMS Spectrum Partners, a subsidiary of Progeny LMS, for another $1.9 million. On April 28, 1999, Otto Frenzel filed an emergency motion for preliminary injunction in Indiana state court and simultaneously filed a motion for declaratory and injunctive relief. In addition, Frenzel requested that the Commission temporarily stay further processing of Progeny LMS's long-form application. Both parties submitted documents to the Commission in support of their respective positions. Progeny LMS has now filed an amended long-form application, which is accepted for filing. Petitions to deny the Progeny LMS application for licenses listed in Attachment A must be filed no later than December 16, 1999, which is ten (10) days after the date of this Public Notice.
