For Immediate Release
STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MICHAEL O’RIELLY 
Regarding DC Circuit Decision to Deny Stay of Net Neutrality Order
WASHINGTON, June 11, 2015.—I am disappointed by the court’s decision to deny a stay of 
the Net Neutrality Order. The fight against the Commission’s rules, however, has only just 
begun, because unless eradicated they will ultimately harm the foundations of the Internet, and 
limit its possibilities. In the meantime, I will be vigilant in resisting any attempts by the agency 
to act as a referee enforcing rules known to none of the players and made up along the way.
