Reba Edwards, Complainant, vs. Pacific Bell, Defendant.

Case 99-09-042 (Filed September 22, 1999)

ORDER DENYING MODIFICATION OF DECISION 00-09-026

Pursuant to Rule 47(h) of the Rules of Practice and Procedure, we hereby deny complainant Reba Edwards' Petition for Modification of Decision (D.) 00-09-026 on the ground that we are not persuaded to modify that decision.

Edwards has cited no new grounds for modifying the decision. She had the opportunity to comment on the presiding officer's decision before we adopted it as our final decision. Finally, contrary to Edwards' assertion, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) did not call Edwards "unintelligent," but referred to portions of the pleadings she filed as "unintelligible." No grounds exist for modification of D.00-09-026. This proceeding is fully and finally concluded.

The draft decision of the ALJ in this matter was mailed to the parties in accordance with Section 311(g)(1) of the Public Utilities Code and Rule 77.7 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure. Comments were filed on ______________, and reply comments were filed on _________________.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

This order is effective today.

Dated , at San Francisco, California.
