Division, Common Carrier Bureau:

     1.  On February 21, 1992, Charter Network Company filed the
above-captioned complaints against the defendants seeking to recover
damages from the defendants for alleged violations of the Commission's
rules in connection with the defendants' computation and assessment of
terminating carrier common line ("CCL") charges.  On March 13, 1995,
the parties filed a joint motion to dismiss the complaints stating
that the parties have negotiated a mutually agreeable settlement of
all pending controversies.

     2.  We are satisfied that granting the parties' joint motion to
dismiss the complaints with prejudice will serve the public interest
by eliminating the need for further litigation and the expenditure of
further time and resources of the parties and of the Commission.

     3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 4(i) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), and the
authority delegated in Section 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 complaints ARE
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE and the proceedings ARE TERMINATED.
