ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Adopted: August 31, 2009 Released: September 2, 2009
By the Chief, Market Disputes Resolution Division, Enforcement Bureau:
1. On February 9, 2009, APCC Services, Inc. ("APCC") filed a formal
complaint against True LD, LLC, West Star Telecommunications, LLC, and
Global Access LD, LLC (collectively "Defendants") pursuant to section
208 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"). In its
Complaint, APCC alleged that Defendants violated sections 201(b) and
276(b) of the Act by failing to pay dial-around compensation owed to
certain pay phone providers and failing to meet certain other
requirements.
2. After a number of extensions of time, on August 27, 2009, APCC filed a
Motion to Withdraw Formal Complaint with prejudice, stating that the
parties have resolved their dispute. Defendants consent to the Motion.
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 4(i), 4(j), and 208
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. S:S: 154(i),
154(j), and 208, sections 1.720-1.736 of the Commission's rules, 47
C.F.R. S:S: 1.720-1.736, and the authority delegated in section 0.111
and 0.311 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. S:S: 0.111 and 0.311,
that the Complaint IS DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, and that this
proceeding IS TERMINATED.
