dismiss the complaint with prejudice.  In support of the motion, the
parties state that a mutually agreeable settlement has been reached.

further litigation and the expenditure of further time and resources
by the parties and by the Commission.

     3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 1, 4(i),
4(j), and 208 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.

0.291 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.291, that the parties'
Joint Motion to Dismiss IS GRANTED.

     4.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned complaint IS
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE and the proceedings ARE TERMINATED.
