   Adopted: August 21, 2012 Released: August 22, 2012

   By the Deputy Chief, Market Disputes Resolution Division, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. On June 10, 2011, Sprint Communications Company L.P. (Sprint) filed
       with this Commission a formal complaint against Tekstar
       Communications, Inc. (Tekstar) under section 208 of the Communications
       Act of 1934, as amended (Act), 47 U.S.C. S: 208.

    2. On August 16, 2012, Sprint filed a Motion to Dismiss with Prejudice,
       stating that the parties "have settled their dispute in a mutually
       satisfactory manner." Sprint therefore requests that the Complaint be
       dismissed with prejudice.

    3. We are satisfied that granting the Motion to Dismiss will serve the
       public interest by encouraging parties to work privately to narrow and
       resolve disputed issues, which may limit or eliminate the need for
       litigation and the further expenditure of resources by the parties and
       this Commission.

    4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), and 208
       of the Act, 47 U.S.C. S:S: 154(i), 154(j), 208, and 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 sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the
       Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. S:S: 0.111, 0.311, that the Motion to
       Dismiss IS GRANTED.

    5. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to sections 4(i), 4(j), and 208 of the
       Act, 47 U.S.C. S:S: 154(i), 154(j), 208, and sections 1.720-1.736 of
       the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. S:S: 1.720-1.1736, and the authority
       delegated in sections 0.111 and 0.311 of the Commission's rules, 47
       C.F.R. S:S: 0.111, 0.311, that the Complaint IS DISMISSED WITH
       PREJUDICE.
