 ORDER  OF  DISMISSAL 
 Adopted:  October  23,  2002  Released:  October  25,  2002 
 By  the  Deputy  Chief,  Policy  Division,  Media  Bureau: 
 1.  By  letter  dated  September  3,  2002,  we  asked  petitioner,  Sammons  Communications  of  Connecticut,  Inc.  whether  it  had  a  continuing  interest  in  Commission  action  on  its  petition  for 
 reconsideration  filed  April  10,  1995  of  an  order  1  adopted  by  the  former  Cable  Services  Bureau  on  March  9,  1995.  The  Cable  Services  Bureau  order  resolved  an  appeal  filed  by  Sammons  of  a  rate  order  issued  by 
 the  Connecticut  Department  of  Public  Utility  Control  on  August  17,  1994.  In  the  September  3  letter,  we  cited  extensive  statutory  changes  in  cable  rate  regulation,  the  possibility  of  resolution  of  the  issues 
 between  the  parties,  and  significant  changes  in  franchise  ownership  as  reasons  the  petitioner  might  no  longer  be  interested  in  Commission  action  on  its  petition.  With  no  objection  heard  from  petitioner,  we  are 
 dismissing  the  petition. 
 2.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED  that  the  petition  for  reconsideration  by  Sammons  Communications  of  Connecticut,  Inc.  filed  April  10,  1995  seeking  review  of  an  order  2  adopted  by  the 


 Cable  Services  Bureau  on  March  9,  1995  on  an  appeal  of  a  rate  order  issued  by  the  Connecticut  DPUC  on  August  17,  1994  IS  DISMISSED. 


 3.  This  action  is  taken  pursuant  to  authority  delegated  by  section  0.283  of  the  Commission’s  rules.  47  C.  F.  R.  §  0.283.
