ORDER
Adopted:  April 2, 2013 Released:  April 3, 2013
By the Chief, Mobility Division, Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:
1. This Order dismisses a “Limited Appeal and Reservation” (Limited Appeal) filed by Warren 
C. Havens, Environmentel LLC, Verde Systems LLC, Telesaurus Holdings GB LLC, Intelligent 
Transportation & Monitoring Wireless LLC, and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation (collectively, 
Petitioners).1 In 2011,2 the Commission dismissed the Petitioners’ petitions for reconsideration of two 
Commission orders affirming decisions of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau’s Mobility Division 
(Division) that dismissed as defective the Petitioners’ prior petitions for reconsideration of earlier orders 
in those proceedings.3 In 2012, the Division dismissed as repetitious the Petitioners’ petition for 
reconsideration of the Commission’s 2011 decision.4 The Limited Appeal notes the pendency of a 
separate proceeding involving some of the same parties,5 and appears to request that the Petitioners be 
permitted to file additional pleadings seeking reconsideration of the Commission’s 2011 decision in the 
  
1 Limited Appeal and Reservation (filed Dec. 5, 2012) (Limited Appeal).  Motorola Solutions, Inc. filed an 
Opposition on December 19, 2012, and the Petitioners filed a Reply to Opposition to Limited Appeal and 
Reservation on December 31, 2012.
2 Motorola, Inc., Order on Reconsideration, 26 FCC Rcd 16581 (2011). 
3 Motorola, Inc., Memorandum Opinion and Order, 25 FCC Rcd 455 (2010), dismiss’g recon. of Order on 
Reconsideration, 22 FCC Rcd 18649 (WTB MD 2007), dismiss’g recon. of Order, 22 FCC Rcd 579 (WTB MD 
2007); Amendment of the Commission’s Rules Concerning Maritime Communications, Fourth Memorandum 
Opinion and Order, PR Docket No. 92-257, 25 FCC Rcd 5008 (2010), dismiss’g recon. of Second Order on Further 
Reconsideration, 24 FCC Rcd 4150 (WTB MD 2009), dismiss’g recon. of Order on Further Reconsideration, 23 
FCC Rcd 329 (WTB MD 2008), dismiss’g recon. of Third Memorandum Opinion and Order, 18 FCC Rcd 24391 
(2003), deny’g recon. of Second Memorandum Opinion and Order and Fifth Report and Order, 17 FCC Rcd 6685 
(2002), den’g recon. of Fourth Report and Order and Third Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 15 FCC Rcd 
22585 (2000).
4 Motorola, Inc., Order on Reconsideration, 27 FCC Rcd 13520 (WTB MD 2012).
5 Maritime Communications/Land Mobile, LLC, Order to Show Cause, Hearing Designation Order, and Notice of

event of a “favorable ruling” in the separate proceeding.6
2. The Limited Appeal is subject to dismissal for a number of reasons.  To the extent that it 
seeks relief with respect to the Commission’s 2011 Order on Reconsideration, it is untimely.  Even if it is 
construed as seeking relief with respect to the Division’s 2012 Order on Reconsideration, it is frivolous7
and unauthorized, for the Commission’s Rules do not provide for the filing of such a request.8 Moreover, 
the Limited Appeal ignores the fact that the 2011 Commission decision and the antecedent Commission 
and Division decisions that it affirmed rejected the Petitioner’s multiple petitions for reconsideration 
because those petitions failed to address the procedural issues which were the basis of the decisions for 
which reconsideration was sought, and instead attempted to relitigate substantive issues that were long 
ago resolved with administrative finality.  The Limited Appeal, like those earlier pleadings, provides no 
basis for reopening the record on those issues.  
3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Sections 4(i) and 405 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 154(i), 405, and Section 1.106 of the 
Commission’s Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.106, the Limited Appeal and Reservation filed by Warren C. Havens, 
Environmentel LLC, Verde Systems LLC, Telesaurus Holdings GB LLC, Intelligent Transportation & 
Monitoring Wireless LLC, and Skybridge Spectrum Foundation on December 5, 2012 IS DISMISSED.
4. This action is taken under delegated authority pursuant to Sections 0.131 and 0.331 of the 
Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.131, 0.331.

6 See Limited Appeal at 2 (“Petitioners submit this limited appeal – under rules regarding an application for review, 
a petition for reconsideration, an informal request, and a declaratory ruling, and any other applicable rule --, and take 
the position that, and request the FCC to accept that, they may use any such favorable decision on said common 
elements and issues from the [HDO proceeding] (if and when they are forthcoming, by a FCC decision or a 
reviewing court decision) in the Instant Case, in a timely manner – and without the Instant Case being deemed at 
that time stale, final, or otherwise unfit for said action, including by a reservation of rights asserted herein.….”) 
(emphasis in original).
7 See, e.g., Warren C. Havens, Third Order on Reconsideration, 26 FCC Rcd 10888 (2011) (dismissing pleading as 
frivolous and repetitious).  A pleading is subject to dismissal as frivolous if it is based on arguments that have been 
specifically rejected by the Commission or otherwise haves no plausible basis for relief.  Id. at 10892 ¶ 11.
8 See 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.45, 1.939 (describing authorized pleadings); see also, e.g., Secret Communications II, LLC, 
Memorandum Opinion and Order, 18 FCC Rcd 9139, 9139 ¶ 1 n.1 (2003) (dismissing unauthorized pleading 
pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 1.45); Llerandi v. FCC, 863 F.2d 79, 86-87 (D.C. Cir. 1988) (upholding Commission’s 
refusal to consider unauthorized pleadings).
