By the Chief, Market Disputes Resolution Division, Enforcement Bureau:
On June 9, 2015, Global Franchise Development Corp. d/b/a Exotic Sportz (Global) filed with this Commission a complaint against AT&T Corp. (AT&T) and Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter) (collectively, Defendants) pursuant to section 208 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act). Defendants filed their answers to Global's Complaint on July 9, 2015.
On July 13, 2015, the parties filed a Stipulation seeking dismissal of the Complaint with prejudice on the ground that the parties have agreed to settle the dispute.
We are satisfied that granting the Stipulation in accordance with the parties' request will serve the public interest by promoting the private resolution of disputes and by eliminating the need for further expenditure of time and resources by the parties and the Commission.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j), and 208 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 154(j), 208, and the authority delegated in Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.720-1.736 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.111, 0.311, 1.720-1.736, that the Stipulation is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j), and 208 of the Act, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 154(j), 208, and the authority delegated in Sections 0.111, 0.311, and 1.720-1.736 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.111, 0.311, 1.720-1.736, that the Complaint is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
