MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Adopted: December 21, 2001 Released: January 4,
2002
By the Commission:
1. In this Memorandum Opinion and Order (``Order''), we
deny the application for review1 filed on August 6, 2001, by
Alan-Leonard Brockway (``Brockway''). Brockway seeks review of a
Memorandum Opinion and Order (``MO&O'') 2 released by the
Enforcement Bureau (``Bureau'') on July 6, 2001. In that MO&O,
the Bureau found that there was no basis for reconsidering the
Forfeiture Order3 assessing a $17,000 forfeiture against Brockway
for willful and repeated violation of Section 301 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended (``Act''),4 and for
willful violation of Section 303(n) of the Act.5 The noted
violations involve Brockway's operation of an FM broadcast
station without authorization and his failure to make that
station available for inspection.
2. We find that Brockway's application for review provides
no basis for reversing the Bureau's decision. In fact,
Brockway's application for review contains nothing relevant to
the issues in this proceeding. In particular, Brockway has not
established the relevance of the cases he cites in his
application for review [e.g., Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137
(1803) and Heiner v. Donnan, 285 U.S. 312 (1932)], and our review
of those cases has found nothing relevant to this proceeding. We,
therefore, find that there is no basis for granting Brockway's
application for review. See generally 47 U.S.C. § 155(c)(5).
3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section
1.115(g) of the Rules,6 Brockway's application for review of the
MO&O released on July 6, 2001, IS DENIED.
4. Payment of the seventeen thousand dollar ($17,000)
monetary forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in
Section 1.80 of the Rules7 within 30 days of the release of this
Order. If the forfeiture is not paid within the period
specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice
for collection pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act.8 Payment
may be made by mailing a check or similar instrument, payable to
the order of the ``Federal Communications Commission,'' to the
Federal Communications Commission, P.O. Box 73482, Chicago,
Illinois 60673-7482. The payment should note the NAL/Acct.
number referenced above. Requests for full payment under an
installment plan should be sent to Chief, Revenue and Receivables
Operations Group, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20554.9
5. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall be
sent by Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested to Alan-Leonard
Brockway at 5663 Highway 35, Kalispell, Montana 59901, and at
6477 Hwy. 93 South, #223, Whitefish, Montana 59937.
