III. REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT

Qwest requests oral argument pursuant to Rule 16.3 on the grounds that D.10-07-030 creates unprecedented and unlawful exceptions to the non-discrimination provisions contained in the Public Utilities Code and the Commission's General Orders, and that the Decision's attempt to bar Qwest from pursuing its claims based on statement made in a separate rulemaking represents a matter of first impression and has due process implications. (Rehrg. App., pp. 26-27 [Public Version].) We do not address the merits of this request because we are granting rehearing. Thus, the request is denied.
