defendant CTC Telcom, Inc. (``CTC Telcom'') in the above-

Since the filing of the informal complaint, AT&T and CTC Telcom

filed a Consent Motion requesting dismissal of its informal
complaint against CTC Telcom.2 CTC Telcom consents to AT&T's
motion.3
We are satisfied that granting AT&T's motion will serve the
public interest by promoting the private resolution of disputes
and by postponing the need for further litigation and expenditure
of further time and resources of the parties and of this
Commission.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), and
208 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§
154(i), 154(j), and 208, and the authority delegated in sections
