6th Circuit Denies Stay of FCC Cable TV LFA Order

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals "take[s] seriously" local franchise authorities' disagreements with the FCC about Communications Act interpretations, but LFAs seeking a stay of implementation of last year's cable TV local franchise authority order (see 1911260015) are "ask[ing] us to enjoin what appears to be a correct interpretation of a federal statute." That's according to an order last week (docket 19-4161) by Circuit Judges David McKeague, Richard Griffin and Raymond Kethledge rejecting the requested enjoinder. LFA outside counsel didn't comment Monday, the day the FCC posted the action.
