6th Circuit Dismisses 2008 Leased Access Order Petitions

A series of petitions filed with the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals seeking review of the FCC's 2008 leased commercial access order have been dismissed. In a docket 08-3369 order Wednesday (in Pacer), Judges Richard Suhrheinrich, Alice Batchelder and John Nalbandian said the NCTA, ShopNBC, Time Warner Cable, Verizon and Comcast petitions were moot due to the agency in June vacating the 2008 order (see 1906060029), which never took effect.
