partial summary judgment on the First, Fourth and Fifth Claims for Relief in NextG s Complaint, and

granting NextG declaratory relief, an injunction and a writ of mandamus.

For the reasons set forth in the Memorandum & Order, the Court hereby issues a declaratory 

judgment that the City s and DPW s refusal to issue NextG a Utility Conditions Permit and the City s

and DPW s requirements, including but not limited to the requirement that NextG obtain a major 

encroachment permit, violate 47 U.S.C. § 253(a), are preempted by 47 U.S.C. § 253(a) and are not 

permitted by 47 U.S.C. § 253(b) or 47 U.S.C. § 253(c). The Court hereby issues a declaratory judgment 

that NextG has the right, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 253, to install, operate and maintain its 

telecommunications network in public rights-of-way within the City, including but not limited to the 

installation of its radio frequency ( RF ) antennas and microcells on existing utility poles within the 

City, subject only to reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions consistent with the City s ability to

manage the public way as set forth in the Memorandum & Order and as applied on a nondiscriminatory 

basis to all other grantees of the Utility Conditions Permit in the City. The Court hereby orders that the City and DPW, and the agents, officers, employees and any 

other persons acting on behalf of the City or DPW, are permanently enjoined from requiring NextG to 

obtain a major encroachment permit in order to install, operate and maintain its telecommunications 

network in public rights-of-way within the City and from imposing on NextG permit or other access 

requirements not also imposed on all other telecommunications services providers. The Court hereby issues a writ of mandamus and an injunction requiring the City and DPW to 

hereinafter promptly grant NextG access to the public rights-of-way within the City to install, operate 

and maintain its telecommunications network by issuing NextG such lawful permits as NextG may 

require, and to issue NextG a Utility Conditions Permit in the form attached hereto, as well as any other 

necessary and legitimate permits, including any that may be required by Article 18 of the San Francisco 

Public Works Code, within ten (10) days. The Court hereby issues a writ of mandamus and an 

injunction requiring the City and DPW thereafter promptly to issue NextG such additional lawful

permits as NextG may request and the City may require of all other telecommunications providers under 

a Utility Conditions Permit.
