1. On December 8, 2010, Comcast Corporation and Comcast SportsNet California, LLC 
f/k/a Comcast SportsNet West, Inc., operator of the regional sports network Comcast SportsNet 
California (“CSN-CA”) (collectively, “Comcast”), filed a Petition for Clarification or, in the Alternative,

condition so that both parties are bound by the results in all pending and future arbitrations.2 Comcast 
states that it filed this Petition after DISH Network L.L.C. (“DISH”) ceased carrying CSN-CA following 
the issuance of an arbitration award under the Adelphia Order arbitration condition and that a clarification 
was necessary to ensure continued carriage of CSN-CA by DISH.3 On February 4, 2011, Comcast filed a 
Motion to Withdraw the Petition.4 Comcast states that it executed a settlement agreement on February 3, 
2011 with DISH resolving the underlying dispute and that DISH has resumed carriage of CSN-CA.5  
Accordingly, Comcast states that a ruling on the Petition is no longer necessary to ensure carriage of 
CSN-CA by DISH.6 In view of this settlement, we grant Comcast’s Motion to Withdraw.
2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Comcast’s Motion to Withdraw Petition for 
Clarification or, in the Alternative, Modification of Arbitration Condition IS GRANTED. 
3. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, with respect to the arbitration between DISH and 
Comcast, the Petition for Clarification or, in the Alternative, Modification of Arbitration Condition IS 
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
4. This action is taken pursuant to authority delegated by Section 0.283 of the 
Commission’s rules.7
