 MEMORANDUM  OPINION  AND  ORDER 
 Adopted:  November  20,  2003  Released:  November  25,  2003 
 By  the  Commission: 
 1.  The  Commission  has  before  it  an  “Application  for  Review  of  Action  Taken  Pursuant  to  Delegated  Authority”  (“  Application  for  Review”)  filed  April  10,  2001,  by  Evan  Doss,  Jr.  (“  Doss”).  Doss  seeks 
 review  of  a  March  22,  2001,  staff  decision  (the  “Staff  Decision”)  dismissing  as  repetitious  his  “Emergency  Petition  to  Consider  ‘Petition  for  Reconsideration’”  and  his  “Emergency  Petition  to  Consider 
 Petition  for  Review,”  both  filed  March  5,  2001,  in  the  above  captioned  proceedings.  1 
 2.  The  Application  for  Review  is  the  latest  in  a  voluminous  series  of  Doss  pleadings.  In  each,  Doss  challenges  one  or  more  of  several  assignments  of  the  license  for  Station  WRTM-  FM  (formerly 
 WVYE(  FM)),  Port  Gibson,  Mississippi,  and/  or  a  settlement  agreement  and  subsequent  assignments  concerning  the  construction  permit  for  a  new  FM  station  in  Bude,  Mississippi.  2  The  series  of  pleadings 
 began  with  Doss’  challenge  to  the  involuntary  assignment  of  the  WRTM-  FM  authorization  from  Evan  Doss  Jr.  Corporation,  an  entity  controlled  by  Doss,  to  Eileen  S.  Bailey,  Trustee,  and  the  August  11,  1998, 
 settlement  agreement  for  the  new  Bude  facility.  The  issues  Doss  raises  in  the  instant  Application  for  Review  have  already  been  fully  considered  by  both  the  staff  and  the  Commission.  3  We  find  that  the 


 1  See  Letter  to  Evan  Doss,  Jr.,  #04615-  043,  Ref.  No.  1800B3-  JR  (MMB,  May  18,  2000). 
 2  The  station  has  since  been  constructed  and  assigned  the  call  letters  WMJU(  FM). 
 3  See,  e.  g.,  Rainey  Rob  L.  L.  C.  and  Dominant  Communications  Corp.,  15  FCC  Rcd  7188,  7188  (1999);  Letter  to

 Application  for  Review  is  repetitious  and  warrants  denial.  The  Commission  is  not  required  to  entertain  frivolous,  redundant  pleadings.  As  the  Court  has  stated,  “the  Commission  need  [not]  allow  the 
 administrative  process  to  be  obstructed  or  overwhelmed  by  copious  or  purely  obstructive  protests.”  4  Accordingly,  the  staff  action  was  proper. 


 3.  In  a  recent  decision,  we  cautioned  Doss  that  the  further  submission  of  repetitious  pleadings  would  be  subject  to  rigorous  scrutiny  under  our  abuse  of  process  policies.  5  That  decision,  however,  was  issued 
 after  Doss  had  already  filed  his  Application  for  Review  in  the  instant  proceeding.  Therefore,  we  reiterate  our  caution  with  regard  to  the  captioned  proceedings  concerning  the  authorization  of  WRTM-  FM  and  the 
 Bude  construction  permit  settlement  agreement.  6 
 4.  For  the  reasons  stated  herein,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  the  April  10,  2001,  Application  for  Review  filed  by  Evan  Doss,  Jr.  (“  Application  for  Review  of  Action  Taken  Pursuant  to  Delegated  Authority”)  IS 
 DENIED.
