Judges love to consolidate unless there is a compelling reason not to do so. A one month delay will not be enough to persuade the AJL to not consolidate if you consider the advantages to the judges, so we would need a better reason. Do we have anything else to go on? (I don't think the Margate issue is enough, either.) I doubt we will have the settlement buttoned up by the second week of December, which could leave us in the position of needing to continue the hearing until January anyway.

To that end, Martha believes that the proceedings should be heard sometime in January 2002, depending upon which of the cases is consolidated into the other. Martha believes that consolidation is appropriate now because the permit conditions recommended by DEP are consistent and that, for evaluation purposes, the DEP considered the sites as one. Martha will be filing a motion for consolidation and wanted our position on the proposed consolidation. I told her that we would likely oppose such a motion but that I would check with you before finalizing our position. Consolidation has its advantages and disadvantages. The cases, if consolidated, may be less expensive to try. Yet, the hearing in December may be at risk if consolidation occurs. In addition, the parties are not exactly the same in each proceeding (Margate is not a participant in the Deerfield proceeding). I need to get back to Martha as soon as possible with Enron's position on the proposed consolidation. If she does not hear back from me soon, then Martha will likely file the motion and indicate that Enron objects to the consolidation. Ryan and I also need to get approval to submit Enron's response to DEP's Change of Position on the Pompano Beach air permit. I promised not to file any response last week, given the pending settlement negotiations but we need to respond to the Change in the next few days. Please advise me of your thoughts on the consolidation. --Kerri . _______________________________________________________________ The information contained in this transmission may contain privileged and confidential information.
