                                     order

   Adopted: December 4, 2013 Released: December 4, 2013

   By the Markets Dispute Resolution Division:

    1. On December 3, 2013, All American Telephone Co., Inc. (All American)
       filed a Motion to Stay Proceeding in the above-captioned litigation.^
       In the Motion, All American requests that this case be stayed pending
       the Commission's ruling on All American's Petition for Reconsideration
       in a separate matter before this Commission--AT&T Corp. v. All
       American Telephone Co., Inc. (AT&T v. All American).^ Sprint
       Communications Company, L.P. (Sprint) opposed the Motion.^

    2. We have reviewed the Motion and Opposition and find no basis for
       granting All American's request. As the Enforcement Bureau previously
       has held, this complaint proceeding is a separate matter from AT&T v.
       All American, and each case will be decided on its own record.^
       Granting the Motion would serve only to unnecessarily delay this
       matter.^

    3. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j), and 208 of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. SS 154(i), 154(j),
       and 208, and Sections 1.720-1.736 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.
       SS 1.720-1.736, and the authority delegated by Sections 0.131 and
       0.331 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. SS 0.131, 0.331, that All
       American's Motion to Stay Proceeding is DENIED.
