United States Court of Appeals FOR T HE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT ____________No. 10-1097 September Term 2009 FCC-10-54 Filed On: August 30, 2010 Paging Systems, Inc., Appellant v. Federal Communications Commission, Appellee BEFORE: Henderson, Tatel, and Kavanaugh, Circuit Judges O R D E R Upon consideration of the motion to consolidate cases, the opposition thereto, and the reply; the motion to hold case in abeyance, the opposition thereto, and the reply; the motion to dismiss case for lack of standing, the opposition theret o, and the reply; and the motion to intervene, it is ORDERED that the motion to dismiss be granted. “Bare allegations are insufficient . . . to establish . . . standing to seek judicial review of administrat ive action.” Sierra Club v. EPA, 292 F.3d 895, 898 (D.C. Cir. 2002). Rather, a party seeking review of an agency’s decision “must either identify in [the administrative] record evidence sufficient to support its standing to seek review, or, if there is none because standing was not an issue before the agency, submit additional evidence to the court ofappeals.” Id. at 899. In this case, appellant has not provided any evidence to support its assertion that it limited its participation in the auction it seeks to set aside, and it has not asserted any other “concrete interest” affected by the procedure it challenges. Summers v. Earth Island Institute, 129 S. Ct. 1142, 1151 (2009). It is FURTHER ORDERED that the remaining motions be dismissed as moot. Pursuant to D.C. Circ uit Rule 36, this dis position will not be published. The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after resolution of any timely petition for rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc. See Fed. R. App. P. 41(b); D.C. Cir. Rule 41. Per Curiam Case: 10-1097 Document: 1263031 Filed: 08/30/2010 Page: 1 [Sky-Tel notes: Mobex (now MCLM), commenced this challenge to FCC Auction 57 of AMTS spectrum and to the Sky-Tel entities' success in that auction. Continued below.*] [* Note above continued: PSI took over the Mobex challenge. Sky-Tel entities, including E nvironmentel, Verde Sys tems, Skybridge and Intelligent Tra nsportation, opposed Mobex and PSI from the start, first, due to clear lack of standing. The FCC found lack of standing, but still for years dealt with the challenges on their substance (which was also defective). A Federal agency cannot, without good public-interest cause articulated, pursue a challenge's substance when it is procedurally defective and where there any private party adversely affected by not dismissing due to lack of standing. That is what the FCC did in this case before the FCC itself. The FCC then asserted Sky-Tel arguments on de fective standing to the court. to get the court to summarily dismiss what the FCC itself would not dismiss. A question remains as to the cause of this prejudicial FCC action. The larger context is relevant and shown in other FCC rec ords on AMTS, Sky-Tel entities, Mobex and MCLM and PSI.]
