On June 6, 2017, SCE emailed the service list requesting an extension for filing its answer to the complaint. SCE explained that the extension was necessary because SCE had been working with Tara Broadcasting to schedule a meeting for the purposes of discussing a settlement. Furthermore, SCE reported that the attorney for Tara Broadcasting did not object to the extension. The assigned Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) issued an email ruling approving the extension on June 7, 2017. On July 6, 2017, the Parties filed their “Joint Motion of Tara Broadcasting LLC and Southern California Edison Company (U338E) to Dismiss Complaint with Prejudice” (Joint Motion to Dismiss Complaint). The Joint Motion to Dismiss Complaint stated that the Parties had reached a resolution of all disputed issues and request that the Commission issue an order granting the joint motion to dismiss the complaint with prejudice. Discussion The Joint Motion to Dismiss Complaint reports that the Parties have resolved all of their differences and that pursuant to this resolution, which they have memorialized in a private settlement agreement, they have agreed that the Commission should dismiss this complaint proceeding with prejudice. All of the contingencies necessary to the completion of the settlement agreement among the Parties have been achieved. Here, where all parties have reached a settlement that resolves the issues raised in the complaint, no public policy would be served by denying the request. Waiver of Comment Period This is now an uncontested matter in which the decision grants the relief requested. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 311(g)(2) of the Public Utilities Code and Rule 14.6(c)(2) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, the otherwise applicable 30-day period for public review and comment is waived.
