RECEIVELC JUN 1 0 1996 Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION FEDERAL COMMUNIC ATIONS COMMISSION OFFICE OF SECRETARY Washington, D.C. 20554 . In re Application of 3 STARSYS GLOBAL File Nos. 33—DSS—P—90(24) . POSITIONING, INC. 42—DSS—AMEND—90 7—DSS—AMEND—94 For Authority to Construct, Launch and 31—DSS—AMEND—94 Operate a Non—Voice, Non—Geostationary 32—DSS—LA—94 Mobile Satellite System 135—SAT—AMEND—95 To: The Commussion SUPPLEMENT TO MOTION TO DISMISS GE American Communications, Inc. ("°GE Americom") and STARSYS (Global Positioning, Inc. ("STARSYS"), by their attorneys, hereby submit this supplement to their May 30, 1996 Motion to Dismiss the Emergency Petition for Declaratory Ruling (‘Petition") filed May 17, 1996 by Leo One USA Corporation ("Leo One"). Leo One‘s entire Petition was premised on the fact that the acquisition by GE Americom of a controlling position in STARSYS had not yet closed. However, the acquisition, as approved by the International Bureau when it granted STARSYS‘s application for an NVNG MSS license (STARSYS Global Positioning, Inc., Order and Authorization, 11 FCC Red 1237 (Int‘l Bur. 1995)), closed on Friday, June 7, 1996, and GE Americom has today advised the Commission of the consummation of the transaction. See attached. \\\DC — 30764/17 — 0299098.01

In the Motion to Dismiss, GFE Americom and STARSYS demonstrated that Leo One‘s Petition is procedurally defective because it is, in effect, an untimely application for review. Because Leo One‘s arguments were based on the fact that the transaction had not been consummated, and the parties have now closed, the Commission should dismiss the Petition on the additional and independent ground that it is moot.
