Re: FERC Jurisdiction Over California Investigations

Robin and I discussed this same point and agree that the March 9 order should
be brought to the court's attention.

Richard: In connection with EPMI's contention in the various California
litigations that they should be dismissed due to FERC's primary jurisdiction,
it strikes me that it may be helpful to lodge FERC's March 9, 2001 order with
the Court. While FERC, in the 12/15 order, established its investigation,
the March 9 order makes findings and imposes remedies (fortunately not
against us). This should enhance the primary jurisdiction argument. FERC's
intent to occupy the field could not be more clear. Ron
