_________________________________________)
CLI-07-28 MEMORANDUM AND ORDER Before us is an appeal of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Boards December 3, 2007 Order censuring Mr. Sherwood Martinelli, the lay representative for a petitioner to intervene in this proceeding. In particular, the Board censured Mr. Martinelli for both his failure to comply with a procedural Board Order and an ad hominem charge in response to a Board action. The charge appeared in correspondence with the NRC Staff that Mr. Martinelli provided to the Board members and other participants. Unpublished Order at 2 & n.2 (Dec. 3, 2007), citing Sherwood Martinellis letter to Sherwin Turk at 1.
In matters of case management such as this, we generally defer to the Board. We view the Boards Order as a reasonable response to Mr. Martinellis conduct. See 10 C.F.R.
§ 2.314(c) (authorizing reprimand, censure or suspension for contemptuous conduct);
Metropolitan Edison Co. (Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2), ALAB-474, 7 NRC 746, 748-49 (1978) (chastising a pro se intervenor for using insulting and disrespectful language).
We therefore defer to the Board and affirm its December 3 Order.
For the Commission
