GOV’T CODE § 2001.038 AND REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, TEMPORARY INJUNCTION, AND PERMANENT INJUNCTION TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: COMES NOW, Plaintiff Kim Elliot McMorries (“Dr. McMorries”), filing this Original Petition for Declaratory Judgment Pursuant to TEX. GOV’T CODE § 2001.038, and Request for Temporary Restraining Order, Temporary Injunction, and Permanent Injunction against Defendant Texas Medical Board (“Board” or “TMB”). In support thereof, Dr. McMorries would respectfully show unto the Court as follows: I. Summary of the Action: 1. The Texas Medical Board is about to do exactly what the Texas Legislature has prohibited. The Texas Legislature stated that “the [Texas Medical] [B]oard may not consider or act on a complaint involving care provided more than seven years before the date on which the complaint is received ….” TEXAS OCCUPATIONS CODE § 154.051(d) (emphasis added). Despite that law, and despite initially following that law, the Board now stands on the cusp of instigating a contested case with the State Office of Administrative Hearings over complaints involving care provided in the 1980’s, more than three decades ago. The Board does so based on a Board rule that twists the Texas Legislature’s words to the point of outright defiance of the Legislature’s intent.

    Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Rules and Policies Concerning ) MM Docket No. 01-317 Multiple Ownership of Radio Broadcast ) Stations in Local Markets ) ) Definition of Radio Markets ) MM Docket No. 00-244 ) TO: THE COMMISSION COMMENTS OF HISPANIC BROADCASTING CORPORATION Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation ("HBC"), by its attorneys and pursuant to Sections 1.415 and 1.419 of the Commission's Rules, submits the following comments in the above-captioned proceeding on matters raised by the Commission in its Notice of Proposed Rule Making and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC 01-329, released November 9, 2001 (“NPRM”). HBC is the largest operator of Spanish-language radio stations in the United States. It is a publicly-held corporation whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. It is the licensee of radio stations in many of the nation’s largest markets, as detailed more fully below. Recognizing the keen interest expressed by the Commission for more than mere argument and rhetoric in support of its position for elimination or relaxation of the radio local multiple ownership rules, HBC joined with Infinity Broadcasting Corporation ("Infinity", also hereinafter "Viacom", see below) and Clear Channel Communications, Inc. ("Clear Channel") to commission studies by Professors David Pritchard of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Jerry A. Hausman of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to establish that consolidation of ownership on a national level in the radio broadcasting industry -- triggered by the elimination of the national multiple ownership caps and the relaxation of the local multiple ownership rules in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (“1996 Act”), and much derided in certain circles since then -- has in fact not diminished in any way the diversity of viewpoints and sources available to the American public and, indeed, has maintained and increased such diversity, particularly as far as radio service to the Spanish-speaking segment of the radio audience is concerned.
