Motion To Consolidate

On January 31, 2002, SoCalGas filed a motion to consolidate the two applications. SoCalGas' motion states that both Tenby and SoCalGas have asked the Commission "to clarify its intention in Resolution G-3304." Since both applications address the same issue, SoCalGas requests that the two proceedings be consolidated. No one filed any opposition to the motion.

Rule 55 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure provides that: "Proceedings involving related questions of law or fact may be consolidated." After a review of the applications and the related pleadings, it is clear that that the same issue is being addressed in both applications, i.e., modification or clarification of Resolution G-3304. In addition, both applications involve the same questions of law and fact. Accordingly, A.01-12-042 and A.01-12-050 should be consolidated.
