Motion to Amend Application

On August 8, 2011, Joint Applicants filed a Motion to Amend Application (Motion). The Motion requests that the County of Santa Barbara, California, Montecito Association, and Stop Smart Meters be removed as Joint Applicants. Joint Applicants also seek to make some clarifications and non-substantive edits and to include a letter of support from Senator Tony Strickland in their amended Application.

The Motion states that both Montecito Association and Stop Smart Meters have asked to withdraw as Joint Applicants because of prioritization of time and resources. Further, the County of Santa Barbara has requested to withdraw because the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors did not authorize the County of Santa Barbara to become a party to a specific proceeding. Joint Applicants state that the edits to the Amended Application remove references to these entities and clarify a potential ambiguity on page 15 of the Application.

We grant the Motion to Amend Application. The caption for this proceeding shall be revised to read as the caption shown on the first page of today's decision. All subsequent pleadings herein shall use this revised caption.

The Amended Application, which was attached as Attachment A to the Motion, shall replace the Joint Application.
