1. Summary

The Consumer Protection and Safety Division (CPSD) moves for an order compelling Clear World Communications Corporation (Clear World), James Mancuso and Michael Mancuso to respond more fully to the data requests propounded by the Commission in Ordering Paragraph 8 and Appendix A of this Order Instituting Investigation (OII). Clear World responds that (1) CPSD has declined to meet and confer on the discovery requests, and (2) depositions of Clear World's accountants scheduled by CPSD for August 12, 2004, may provide much of the information that CPSD seeks. Ordering Paragraph 10.2 of the OII and Resolution ALJ-164 require a "meet and confer," and a motion to compel is premature until that requirement is met. CPSD's motion to compel is denied, without prejudice to refiling as described below.
