FYI.  The case management statements are due May 5.  I'll forward Rule 49
separately so that you can start thinking about what we need to say in it.
Also think about who we are aligned with for purposes of cross-examination
panels.

Subject: Upcoming Scheduling PHC in R.99-10-025



Good afternoon everyone- I wanted to let you all know a bit more about what
I hope to accomplish at the 5/10 PHC for the DG proceeding. It is my hope
that we will leave the PHC with a planned witness order for the hearings.
Therefore, parties should come prepared to discuss witness availability and
cross estimates by witness. In fact, if you can provide estimates to me
informally prior to the PHC, I would greatly appreciate it.

Any work that the parties can do ahead of time to reduce to scope of issues
that require cross is appreciated. In the scoping ruling, Commissioner Bilas
directed that a case management statement be submitted consistent with Rule
49. We are looking forward to seeing that. In addition, I'd like you all to
consider offering panels of witnesses for cross in the event that you have
significant alignment of positions with other parties. This should reduce
the time required as well. We will not tolerate repetitive cross or friendly
cross, therefore, the parties with aligned positions should also consider
designating a representative to cross witnesses in order to reduce hearing
time. (If witnesses have corrections to their direct or rebuttal testimony,
these should be submitted in writing as an errata exhibit, whenever
possible, in order to reduce additional direct on the stand.)

During the hearings we will run 9-1 Tuesday-Friday, Mondays we will run
10-4. This gives us approximately 28 hours of cross time. If parties
estimates exceed this amount of time, the Commissioner and I will allocate
time accordingly.

In addition, at the PHC I intend to identify the direct and rebuttal
testimony with exhibit numbers so that we do not need to spend time doing
that at the hearing. We will also set a date by which any motions to strike
testimony are due.

I hope this information is helpful. See you in a couple of weeks!
