                             ORDER

     Adopted:  September 15, 1997       Released:  September 17, 1997

By the Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

     1.   In this Order, we address a Joint Motion for Stay of Filing Deadlines filed by Texas Cable
and Telecommunications Association, Mississippi Cable Telecommunications Association, and Arkansas
Cable Television Association ("Complainants") and Entergy Services, Inc. ("Respondent") on August 21,
1997.  By their respective counsel, the parties jointly request that the filing deadlines in the above-captioned
case be stayed thirty (30) days, until September 22, 1997 to allow the parties to attempt to settle the
Complaint and negotiate a new pole attachment agreement template.  Counsel for the parties have met to
discuss settlement issues and believe that a settlement in this case would eliminate the need for the filing of
further pleadings.  As discussed below, we grant the Motion.

     2.   The Commission has encouraged the use of negotiation in the pole attachment context. 
Because both parties have agreed, and because no harm results to the public or any other party from such
a stay, we find that the equities justify granting a stay of the filing deadlines.  We accordingly grant the
request for stay of filing deadlines in the above-captioned case.

     3.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 1.43 of the Commission's rules, 47
C.F.R. Section 1.43, that the Joint Motion For Stay of Filing Deadlines filed by the parties referenced above
IS GRANTED. 
     4.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the filing deadlines in the above referenced case are
stayed for thirty (30) days, until September 22, 1997.

     5.   This action is taken pursuant to delegated authority under Section 0.321of the Commission's
rules, 47 C.F.R. Section 0.321.
