RE: Petition to deny applications FCC File Nos. 0006361933, 0006361947, 0006361960, and 
0006361965
Dear Ms. Kurian:
This letter addresses your petition, filed on August 18, 2014,1 to deny the above-referenced 
applications for the assignment of sixty-nine land mobile and microwave licenses held by you or one of 
your entities, R F Data, Spectrum Wireless LLC, or PCS LLC, to William M. Holland (Holland).2 For the 
reasons set forth below, we deny your petition, and will process the applications.
On January 30, 2014, the Nevada District Court of Clark County appointed Holland as receiver to 
liquidate the licenses and distribute the proceeds to satisfy a monetary judgment against you.3  On May 7, 
2014, you granted Holland power of attorney to act on behalf of you and your entities with respect to the 
licenses.4 On July 10, 2014, Holland filed the above-referenced assignment applications.  You oppose the 
assignment applications on the grounds that the Nevada state court orders rendering judgment against you 
and appointing a receiver were improper.5  
The Commission’s policy “is to accommodate state and local court decrees adjudicating disputes 
over contract and property rights, unless a public interest determination under the Communications Act    
. . . compels a different result.”6 In particular, we will not substitute our judgment for that of the state 
court regarding the legitimacy of a receivership appointment.7 Any challenge to these actions must be 
pursued in a court of competent jurisdiction.8 Therefore, we deny your request that we review the merits 
of the Nevada state court orders prior to processing the assignment applications.
