Decision No. R06-0188-I.
4. By Decision No. R06-0264-I, the Administrative Law Judge established hearing
dates and current procedural schedule. Hearing in this matter is scheduled for July 20 and 21,
2006.
5. On April 20, 2006, Applicant filed a Motion to Extend Time to File Witness and
Exhibit List (Motion). In that filing Applicant asks that the Commission extend by two days
(from April 19, 2006 to April 21, 2006)the filing date for Applicant's list of witnesses and copies
of its exhibits. Applicant states that, with the exception of one party which Applicant has not
been able to reach, no party has an objection to the granting of the Motion.
6. The Motion states good cause. In addition, given the lack of objection, no party
will be prejudiced by granting the Motion. Finally, Applicant filed its list of witnesses and
copies of its exhibits on April 21, 2006. The short delay in the filing, given the July hearing
dates, is reasonable. The Motion will be granted. Applicant will be ordered to file its list of
witnesses and copies of its exhibits no later than close of business on April 21, 2006.
7. The remainder of the procedural schedule, the hearing dates, and the other
requirements previously ordered in this proceeding remain in effect.
