They are seeking injunctive and declaratory relief, both of which were summarily rejected by Judge Matsch in Denver, who is treating CSU's claim as an APA review. They are also making virtually identical legal claims as CSU - their central claim is that they have the exclusive right to operate electric and gas systems inside Fort Meade. BGE has also brought in the issue of state jurisdiction over other entities such as EFSI: they cite an opinion letter from the General Counsel of the MD PSC as an "official decision" - which it is not. In any case, Randy Rich and I had subsequent meeting with GC regarding that letter in which she "clarified" her position in various respects contrary to BGE's claims. But I see that aspect of BGE's complaint as favorable from our standpoint - the District Court can rule on this issue instead of the state courts. Vicki/Andrew, please let me know how you want to proceed. I have a few ideas that we could discuss with whomever handles the case as outside counsel. -Bob 3-3180 ---------------------- Forwarded by Robert Frank/NA/Enron on 09/01/2000 08:46 AM --------------------------- "Randall Rich" on 09/01/2000 08:34:47 AM To: cc: "Albert Krachman" , "Charles McNeish" Subject: Fwd: FW: Fort Meade Privatization The BGE peititon is attached.
