MOTION TO WITHDRAW AUBURN WASHINGTON
FROM PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF
Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, on behalf of its subsidiaries and affiliates
(together "Comcast" or the "Company"), by its attorneys, hereby moves to withdraw the Auburn,
Washington Franchise Area (WA0096 and WA0829) from the Company's Petition for Special
Relief seeking a determination of effective competition, filed on or about April 3, 2008
("Petition") in the above-captioned proceeding. Comcast maintains its Petition for the remaining
eight (8) franchise areas in the above-captioned proceeding.'
Comcast seeks to withdraw Auburn to evaluate the impact of very recent annexations on
the DBS penetration calcualtion for that community. Comcast withdraws Auburn from the
Petition without prejudice and reserves the right to seek a determination of effective competition
for Auburn in the future. Good cause exists for granting this request, as it will relieve the Bureau
of reviewing this community in its consideration of Comcast's Petition.
' The remaining communities include Algona, Black Diamond, Covington, Des Moines,
Enumclaw, Maple Valley, Pacific, and Tukwila
Accordingly, Comcast respectfully requests that the Bureau grant the Company's motion
to withdraw the Auburn Franchise Area from the Petition.
Respectfully submitted,
Co cast Cable Communications, LLC
