Re: Debarment Notice, FCC Case No. 

EB–IHD–14–00013502 

Dear Mr. Styles: 

The Federal Communications 

Commission (Commission) hereby 

notifies you that, pursuant to Section 

54.8 of its rules, you are prohibited from 

participating in activities associated 

with or relating to the schools and 

libraries universal service support 

mechanism (E-Rate program) for three 

years from either the date of your 

receipt of this Notice of Debarment or of 

its publication in the Federal Register, 

whichever is earlier in time (Debarment 

Date).1

On August 26, 2014, the 

Commission’s Enforcement Bureau sent 

you a Notice of Suspension and 

Initiation of Debarment Proceedings that 

was published in the Federal Register 

on September 22, 2014.2 That 

Suspension Notice suspended you from 

participating in activities associated 

with or relating to the E-Rate program. 

It also described the basis for initiating 

debarment proceedings against you, the 

applicable debarment procedures, and 

the effect of debarment. 

As discussed in the Suspension 

Notice, in March 2011 you were 

convicted of conspiring with Marvin 

Mitch Freeman to obstruct the 

competitive bidding process and 

defraud the E-Rate program of 

approximately $788,000.3 As the 

Management Information Systems 

Director for Chowchilla Elementary 

School District (CESD) you were 

responsible for CESD’s procurement 

process and, therefore were ineligible to 

bid on CESD’s E-Rate projects.4 To 

circumvent the Commission’s 

competitive bidding rules, you solicited 

Mr. Freeman to bid on CESD E-Rate 

contracts through his business, Twisted 

Head Design.5 Specifically, you 

awarded Mr. Freeman the E-Rate 

contracts knowing he was unqualified to 

perform E-Rate work and that you or a 

subcontractor would perform the work, 

and bill the Universal Service 

Administrative Company for that work.6

Pursuant to Section 54.8(c) of the 

Commission’s rules, your conviction of 

criminal conduct in connection with the 

E-Rate program is the basis for this 

debarment.7

In accordance with the Commission’s 

debarment rules, you were required to 

file with the Commission any 

opposition to your suspension or its 

scope, or to your proposed debarment or 

its scope, no later than 30 calendar days 

from either the date of your receipt of 

the Suspension Notice or of its 

publication in the Federal Register, 

whichever date occurred first.8 The 

Commission did not receive any such 

opposition from you. 

For the foregoing reasons, you are 

debarred from participating in activities 

associated with or related to the E-Rate 

program for three years from the 

Debarment Date.9 During this debarment 

period, you are excluded from 

participating in any activities associated 

with or related to the E-Rate program, 

including the receipt of funds or 

discounted services through the E-Rate 

program, or consulting with, assisting, 

or advising applicants or service 

providers regarding the E-Rate 

program.10

Jeffrey J. Gee

Re: Debarment Notice, FCC Case No. 

EB–IHD–14–00015659 

Dear Mr. Freeman: 

The Federal Communications 

Commission (Commission) hereby 

notifies you that, pursuant to Section 

54.8 of its rules, you are prohibited from 

participating in activities associated 

with or relating to the schools and 

libraries universal service support 

mechanism (E-Rate program) for three 

years from either the date of your 

receipt of this Notice of Debarment or of 

its publication in the Federal Register, 

whichever is earlier in time (Debarment 

Date).1

On August 26, 2014, the 

Commission’s Enforcement Bureau sent 

you a Notice of Suspension and 

Initiation of Debarment Proceedings that 

was published in the Federal Register 

on September 12, 2014.2 That 

Suspension Notice suspended you from 

participating in activities associated 

with or relating to the E-Rate program. 

It also described the basis for initiating 

debarment proceedings against you, the 

applicable debarment procedures, and 

the effect of debarment. 

As discussed in the Suspension 

Notice, on March 17, 2011, you were 

convicted of conspiring with Gregory 

Paul Styles, the Management 

Information Systems Director for the 

Chowchilla Elementary School District 

(CESD), to obstruct the competitive 

bidding process and defraud the E-Rate 

program of approximately $788,000.3

You and Mr. Styles used your silk 

screening company, Twisted Head 

Design, to bid on CESD’s E-Rate 

contracts.4 Mr. Styles awarded E-Rate 

contracts to Twisted Head Design 

knowing you and the company were 

unqualified to perform E-Rate work, 

performed the work himself or through 

his subcontractors, and billed USAC for 

that work.5 Pursuant to Section 54.8(c) 

of the Commission’s rules, your 

conviction of criminal conduct 

associated with the E-Rate program is 

the basis for this debarment.6

In accordance with the Commission’s 

debarment rules, you were required to 

file with the Commission any 

opposition to your suspension or its 

scope, or to your proposed debarment or 

its scope, no later than 30 calendar days 

from either the date of your receipt of 

the Suspension Notice or of its 

publication in the Federal Register, 

whichever date occurred first.7 The 

Commission did not receive any such 

opposition from you. 

For the foregoing reasons, you are 

debarred from participating in activities 

associated with or related to the E-Rate 

program for three years from the 

Debarment Date.8 During this debarment 

period, you are excluded from 

participating in any activities associated 

with or related to the E-Rate program, 

including the receipt of funds or 

discounted services through the E-Rate 

program, or consulting with, assisting,
