Schedule For Evidentiary Hearings

The schedule for the economic evaluation of upgrades west of Miguel and at the Imperial Valley substation is as follows:

September 10: Discovery cut-off date

September 14: Utilities file direct testimony (may be jointly

sponsored with other parties)

October 10: Intervenor testimony

October 19: Rebuttal testimony

October 22: List of exhibits, witness availability and cross-examination estimates due (See Attachment)

October 23: Last day to file motions to strike on direct or rebuttal testimony

October 26: Last day to file responses to motions to

strike

October 29-November 9: Evidentiary hearings in San Francisco

Any discovery disputes should be directed to the Commission's Law and Motion Judge. I plan to rule on motions to strike on the first day of hearings, based on the written filings. There will be no opportunity for oral argument. Utilities may file rebuttal testimony in response to intervenor testimony. Other parties may also file rebuttal testimony if (and only if) it rebuts the direct testimony of other intervenors.

Evidentiary hearings will be held at the Commission's Courtroom, 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California. For the first day of hearings each week, hearings will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (i.e., October 29 and November 5.) On all other days, hearings will start at 9 a.m. and I plan to complete hearings on those days at 1 p.m.
