Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Application by Bell Atlantic New York for Authorization Under Section 271 of the Communications Act To Provide In-Region, InterLATA Service in the State of New York ) ) ) ) ) ) CC Docket No. 99-295 ORDER Adopted: December 27, 1999 Released: December 27, 1999 By the Chief, Common Carrier Bureau: 1. In an Order adopted December 22, 1999, the Commission granted the application filed by Bell Atlantic to enter the interLATA long distance market in New York State based on its conclusion that Bell Atlantic had taken the statutorily required steps to open its local exchange and exchange access markets to competition. On December 23, 1999, AT&T Corporation filed a motion to stay the Commission’s Order pending judicial review. 2. We find that AT&T’s Motion for Stay fails to raise any argument that was not fully considered and addressed by the Commission in its Bell Atlantic New York 271 Order, and otherwise fails to make an adequate showing to justify staying the Commission’s Order. We thus find no basis for granting the relief requested by AT&T. 3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that AT&T’s Motion for Stay is DENIED. FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Lawrence E.
