ORDER
Adopted: March 12, 2004 Released: March 15,
2004
By the Chief, Market Disputes Resolution Division,
Enforcement Bureau:
1. On March 11, 2004, complainant Fiber Technologies
Networks, L.L.C. (``Fiber Tech'') filed a Notice of
Withdrawal1 seeking dismissal with prejudice of its
Complaint against Duquesne Light Company (``Duquesne'')
filed on April 8, 2003.2 The Complaint alleged, inter alia,
that Duquesne violated 47 U.S.C. § 224 by overcharging and
causing unreasonable delays with respect Fibertech's
attachment to Duquesne poles in Pittsburgh. The Notice of
Withdrawal, to which defendant Duquesne Light Company
consents, states that the parties have settled their
dispute.
2. We are satisfied that dismissing the Complaint
with prejudice 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.
3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections
1, 4(i), 4(j), and 224 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 151, 154(i), 154(j), 224, and the
authority delegated in sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.111 and 0.311, that the
Notice of Withdrawal of complaint is GRANTED, and that the
Complaint is DISMISSED with prejudice.
4. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned
proceeding is TERMINATED.
