violation of section 90.699 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.
§ 90.699.
2. On November 5, 2003, Nextel filed a Motion to
Dismiss Complaint Without Prejudice (?Motion to Dismiss?)1 stating
that the parties had entered into a settlement pursuant to an
Asset Exchange Agreement under which Supreme's ?upper 200? 800 MHz
licenses will be relocated in accordance with 47 CFR § 90.699.
It further stated that the Motion to Dismiss was filed pursuant
to the Asset Exchange Agreement.

will serve the public interest by promoting the private
resolution of disputes and by eliminating the need for further
litigation and the expenditure of further time and resources of
the parties and this Commission.
4. 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 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's rules,
47 C.F.R. §§ 0.111, 0.311, that the Motion To Dismiss the
above-captioned complaint IS GRANTED.
5. IT IS FURTHER 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 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§
0.111, 0.311, that Nextel's formal complaint against Supreme IS
