Dear Marc:
This is to confirm our earlier conversation in which I advised that we object, and do not intend to respond, to Brownsville's Interrogatories and Document Requests dated August 25, 1980.
As you are well aware, factual discovery in the above-captioned proceedings has been closed since March 14, 1980.
Moreover, none of the subjects inquired into by your most recent Interrogatories is in any way relevant to the issues in these proceedings.
I also would like to record our view that these Interrogatories are particularly inappropriate now in view of not only the intensive efforts which the parties have been making to settle this controversy, but also the exhor-tations which both the Licensing and Appeal Boards have made to encourage such settlement efforts by the parties.
Such ill-timed efforts as Brownsville's August 25 Inter-rogatories can only divert efforts away frem, and thereby impede, the settlement process.
