This order cancels the private pay
telephone certificate of William DuPree, III.
On June 4, 2013, the Staff of the
Missouri Public Service Commission filed a motion requesting Mr. DuPree, III’s certificate
to provide private pay telephone service in the State of Missouri be
canceled.
In
Case Number PA-2002-1071, the Commission granted Mr. DuPree, III a certificate
of service authority to provide private pay telephone service in the State of
Missouri via customer-owned coin-operated telephone equipment.
Staff’s motion states that Mr. DuPree,
III requested cancellation of his certificate of service authority via letter
and in his Statement of Revenue. Staff
recommends that the Commission cancel Mr. DuPree, III’s certificate of service
authority as he is no longer providing service in Missouri.
On June 5, 2013, the Commission issued
an Order Directing Notice allowing any parties to file an objection or request
a hearing to do so no later than June 17, 2013.
No objections or requests for a hearing were filed.
The Commission has the authority to
cancel a certificate and tariff pursuant to Section 392.410.5, RSMo (Supp. 2012),
which states, in part, “[a]ny certificate or service authority may be altered
or modified by the commission after notice and hearing, upon its own motion or
upon application of the person or company affected.”
Based
on Mr. DuPree, III’s request and Staff’s motion, the Commission finds that the
private payphone certificate granted to William DuPree, III, shall be canceled.
THE COMMISSION ORDERS THAT:
1. The private payphone certificate granted
to William DuPree, III, in Case Number PA-2002-1071, is canceled.
2. This order shall become effective on July
1, 2013.
