 ORDER 
 Adopted:  November  8,  2000  Released:  November  9,  2000 
 By  the  Chief,  Consumer  Protection  and  Competition  Division,  Cable  Services  Bureau: 


 1.  On  November  1,  2000,  TCI  Cablevision  of  California,  Inc.  ("  TCI-  C")  and  the  San  Mateo 
 County  Cable  Television  Authority  ("  SAMCAT")  filed  with  the  Commission  a  joint  motion  to  withdraw 
 appeals  of  local  rate  orders  for  the  above  captioned  communities  in  California.  TCI-  C  had  filed  with  the 
 Commission  on  October  21,  1996  a  petition  for  reconsideration  of  Memorandum  Opinion  and  Order,  DA 
 96-  1541  released  on  September  19,  1996  by  the  Cable  Services  Bureau.  In  its  motion,  TCI-  C  states  that  it 
 has  reached  an  acceptable  resolution  of  this  matter  with  SAMCAT  and  request  that  the  Petition  for 
 Reconsideration,  as  well  as  all  subsequent  filings  related  to  this  proceeding  be  withdrawn  and  dismissed 
 without  benefit  of  substantive  Commission  review.  This  withdrawal  resolves  all  pending  BST  rate 
 matters  before  the  FCC  involving  TCI-  C  and  SAMCAT. 


 2.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED  that  the  Joint  Motion  to  Withdraw  Appeals  of  Local 
 Rate  Orders  filed  by  TCI  Cablevision  of  California,  Inc.  and  the  San  Mateo  County  Cable  Television 
 Authority  IS  GRANTED  and  the  petition  for  reconsideration  filed  by  TCI-  C  IS  DISMISSED. 


 3.  This  action  is  taken  by  the  Chief,  Consumer  Protection  and  Competition  Division,  Cable 
 Services  Bureau,  pursuant  to  authority  delegated  by  Section  0.321  of  the  Commission's  rules.  47  C.  F.  R.  §
