Application 02-06-024 (Filed June 12, 2002)

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE'S RULING
ON MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE UNDER SEAL

Good cause appearing, IT IS RULED that:

1. The unopposed motion of Pac-West Telecomm, Inc. (Pac-West) for leave to file confidential materials under seal is granted. The information in the table titled, "Calculation of Weighted Average Verizon Per Minute Cost" and Attachment Eight to the Testimony of Dr. Lee Selwyn have been filed under seal as an attachment to Pac-West's motion for leave to file under seal, shall remain under seal for a period of two years from the date of this ruling, and during that period shall not be made accessible or disclosed to anyone other than Commission staff on the further order or ruling of the Commission, the Assigned Commissioner, the assigned Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), or the ALJ then designated as Law and Motion Judge.

2. If Pac-West believes that further protection of this information is needed after two years, it may file a motion stating the justification for further withholding the material from public inspection, or for such other relief as the Commission rules may then provide. This motion shall be filed no later than 30 days before the expiration of this protective order.

Dated September 26, 2002, at San Francisco, California.
