The Judge had warned El Paso on Friday that= it must defend itself against the accusations set forth by the CPUC. Inst= ead, El Paso made a motion for summary judgement to the Judge. After a ver= y short recess, the Judge came back and denied the motion finding that the = CPUC had made its prima facia case and El Paso had failed to provide the fu= ll record to defend itself. Much of the evidence in the case was reviewed = by the Judge in camera and put into the record in a redacted format. The = Judge's Initial Decision is due October 9, 2001. The Judge made further co= mments that this was clearly a case of a pipeline and merchant affiliate de= aling both sides of a deal. The Judge indicated that information about all= aspects of the pipeline and merchant businesses was sent to Wise in memora= nda with minute detail with cc:s to Somerhalder.
