Yes, Jackson can still request that the matter be settled outside of the adjudication process.

Answer:

Yes, Jackson can still request that the matter be settled outside of the adjudication process.

Explanation:

If the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) agrees with Jackson that the legal matter be settled outside of the adjudication process, then Jackson can have his way.  Adjudication refers to the final judgment or pronouncement in a case.  This final judgment usually determines the course of action that the FCC can take regarding  the interruption of radio frequency by Jackson.  But if it seems that Jackson's request for the out-of-court settlement is just an abuse of process, aimed at occasioning some delay, then it behooves the FCC to disagree with his request and proceed with the adjudication process.  Each matter should be based on its merits and the facts of the case.
