                                                   Released: February 4, 2008

   By the District Director, New York District Office, Northeast Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is an Official Citation issued pursuant to Section 503(b)(5) of
       the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), to J. Schatz & D.
       Martinez  for violation of Section 15.5(b) of the Commission's Rules.

    2. On January 28, 2008, the Enforcement Bureau's New York Office received
       a complaint from a FCC licensee that a signal coming from your
       apartment in New York, NY, was causing interference to its radio
       transmitters. Using direction finding equipment, the FCC licensee
       determined that the interference to its radio transmitters was caused
       by a device located in your apartment. On January 31, 2008, an agent
       from the New York Office investigated the interference and spoke to J.
       Schatz regarding the device that likely is causing interference.

    3. Section 15.5(b) of the Rules states that "[o]peration of an
       intentional, unintentional, or incidental radiator is subject to the
       conditions that no harmful interference is caused. ..." Section
       15.3(m) of the Rules defines harmful interference as "any emission,
       radiation or induction that ... seriously degrades, obstructs or
       repeatedly interrupts a radio communications service operating in
       accordance with this chapter." Section 15.5(c) of the Rules requires
       that "[t]he operator of the radio frequency device shall be required
       to cease operating the device upon notification by a Commission
       representative that the device is causing harmful interference." 

    4. J. Schatz & D. Martinez's operation of a Part 15 device at their
       apartment in New York, NY, which caused interference to a FCC
       licensee, violated Section 15.5(b) of the Commission's Rules.

    5. Violations of the Act or the Commission's Rules may subject the
       violator to substantial monetary forfeitures, seizure of equipment
       through in rem forfeiture action, and criminal sanctions, including
       imprisonment.

    6. Pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j), 308(b) and 403 of the Act, J. Schatz
       & D. Martinez is directed to provide the documents and information
       specified herein, within fourteen (14) days from the date of this
       Citation.

    7. J. Schatz & D. Martinez may request an interview at the closest FCC
       Office, which is Federal Communications Commission, New York Office,

       outlined above. Please reference file number EB-08-NY-031 when

       knowingly or willfully false statement made in reply to this Citation
