 MEMORANDUM  OPINION  AND  ORDER 
 Adopted:  August  14,  2001  Released:  August  16,  2001 
 By  the  Chief,  Consumer  Protection  and  Competition  Division,  Cable  Services  Bureau: 
 1.  On  May  10,  1999,  the  Bureau  released  an  order  granting,  in  part,  open  video  system 
 complaints  filed  by  Media  General  Cable  of  Fairfax,  Inc.  and  Media  General  Cable  of  Fredericksburg,  Inc. 
 (“  Media  General”)  against  Starpower  Communications,  LLC  (“  Starpower”).  1  On  June  9,  1999,  Starpower 
 filed  a  petition  for  partial  reconsideration  of  the  Bureau’s  order. 


 2.  On  August  2,  2001,  Media  General  informed  the  Bureau  that  the  cable  operator  is  no  longer 
 interested  in  pursuing  its  complaints  against  Starpower,  due  to  the  fact  that  Media  General  sold  the  cable 
 systems  in  question.  2 


 3.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED  that  the  May  10,  1999  order  in  this  matter  IS  VACATED, 
 as  the  initiating  parties  no  longer  have  an  interest  in  the  subject  matter  of  their  complaints.
