 MEMORANDUM  OPINION  AND  ORDER 
 Adopted:  October  15,  2003  Released:  October  23,  2003 
 By  the  Commission: 
 1.  The  Commission  has  before  it  a  “Petition  for  Review”  (“  Petition”)  filed  February  14,  2000,  by  Evan  Doss,  Jr.  (“  Doss”).  Doss  seeks  review  of  a  January  11,  2000,  staff  decision  dismissing  as

 repetitious  Doss’  petition  for  reconsideration  of  the  Commission’s  denial  of  his  application  for  review  in  the  above  captioned  proceedings.  1 
 2.  The  Petition  is  merely  the  latest  in  a  voluminous  series  of  Doss  pleadings.  Each  challenges  one  or  more  of  several  assignments  of  WRTM-  FM,  formerly  WVYE(  FM),  and  WKPG(  AM),  Port  Gibson, 
 Mississippi,  beginning  with  the  involuntary  assignment  of  the  two  stations’  authorizations  from  Evan  Doss  Jr.  Corporation  to  Eileen  S.  Bailey,  Trustee.  These  issues  have  been  fully  considered  by  both  the 
 staff  and  Commission.  We  find  that  the  Petition  is  repetitious  and  subject  to  dismissal  pursuant  to  Section  1.106(  b)(  3)  of  the  Commission’s  rules.  2  The  Commission  is  not  required  to  entertain  frivolous,  redundant 
 pleadings.  As  the  Court  has  noted,  “the  Commission  need  [not]  allow  the  administrative  process  to  be  obstructed  or  overwhelmed  by  copious  or  purely  obstructive  protests.”  3  Moreover,  our  rules  establish 
 limits  on  a  party’s  right  to  obtain  review  by  this  Commission  on  any  particular  matter.  4  Accordingly,  the  staff  action  was  proper. 


 3.  We  caution  Mr.  Doss  that  the  submission  of  further  pleadings  to  the  Commission  regarding  the  captioned  applications  to  assign  authorizations  formerly  held  by  the  Evan  Doss,  Jr.  Corporation,  an  entity 
 controlled  by  Doss,  will  be  subject  to  rigorous  scrutiny  under  our  abuse  of  process  policies.  5 
 4.  Accordingly,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  Doss’  February  14,  2000,  “Petition  for  Review”  IS  DENIED.
