6 Joint Motion to Dismiss Formal Complaint, Proceeding No. 15-73, File No. EB-15-MD-002 (filed Feb. 9, 2017).  
Verizon filed a complaint against FPL on January 31, 2014.  Pole Attachment Complaint, Proceeding No. 14-216, 
File No. EB-14-MD-003 (2014 Complaint).  The 2014 Complaint was dismissed without prejudice.  See Verizon 
Florida LLC v. Florida Power and Light Co., Memorandum Opinion and Order, 30 FCC Rcd 1140 (Chief, Enf. Bur. 
2015).  Verizon then filed the Complaint at issue here against FPL.  As noted above, Frontier was subsequently 
designated the real party in interest as Complainant in the captioned proceeding, replacing Verizon.  See para. 2, 
supra.  Accordingly, we now also dismiss the 2014 Complaint with prejudice.
