 ORDER 
 Adopted:  July  31,  2002  Released:  August  2,  2002 
 By  the  Chief,  Policy  Division,  Media  Bureau: 
 1.  On  August  16,  1999  Lenfest  Atlantic,  Inc.  d/  b/  a  Suburban  Cable  (“  Suburban”),  filed  with  the  Commission  an  appeal  of  a  local  rate  order  issued  by  the  New  Jersey  Board  of  Public  Utilities 
 (“  Board”)  on  July  23,  1999.  In  its  rate  order,  the  Board  directed  Suburban  to  recalculate  its  Form  1205  equipment  rates  and  to  issue  refunds  to  subscribers. 


 2.  On  July  16,  2002,  Comcast  Cable  Communications,  Inc.  (“  Comcast”)  filed  a  request  to  dismiss  the  appeal  filed  by  Suburban.  In  its  letter,  Comcast  states  that  subsequent  to  the  Board’s  order, 
 Suburban  became  a  wholly-  owned  indirect  subsidiary  of  Comcast.  Comcast  and  the  Board  have  agreed  to  a  global  settlement  which  resolved  all  of  the  outstanding  issues  that  were  the  subject  of  the  rate  appeal. 
 Therefore,  Comcast  requests  that  the  appeal  be  dismissed. 
 3.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  that  the  request  to  dismiss  filed  by  Comcast  Cable  Communications,  Inc.  IS  GRANTED  and  the  appeal  filed  on  August  16,  1999  by  Lenfest  Atlantic,  Inc. 


 d/  b/  a  Suburban  Cable  IS  DISMISSED. 
 4.  This  action  is  taken  pursuant  to  authority  delegated  by  Section  0.283  of  the  Commission’s  rules.  47  C.  F.  R.  §  0.283.
