Re:
Consumers Power Company Midland Plant Suspension-Heafings 4
Dear Chairman Coufal:
We encicae various Motions, some of which were due June 24, 1977. - - We were _ unable to get them reproduced by that date and thus ask for permission to file them today by mail, essentially one business day later.
Ne trust this will not inconvenience the Board and.in no event should slow down the process since all of the Findings are not yet due by the other parties.
Hence, we believe the Board will have sufficient time to deal with the admissibility question.
We would like to point out, however, that well over 95%
of the objections by the Staff and Consumers to our Exhibits are frivolous.
We believe a careful review of Consumers' and the Staff's papers will show that their objections to our documents were filed in bad faith and only intended to delay these proceedings in a desperation move.
Almost 99% of the documents we produced were i
produced by the other parties, yet those other parties took the time
'to object to documents which their own companies produced.on_the grounds that the writers of those documents (their own witnesses) were not produced for examination.
Based upon my more than 15. yea;s of. practice before Federal Courts, there isn't a judge alive'who would not have reacted harshly to those kirds of arguments made by Consumers and the Staff.
.We makefthis point because responding to Consumersand the Staff's Motions on the Exhibits took time and money, both of which fwe do not have in abundance in these proceedings.
We also take the
. time:to point this'out since it supports'our overall position that
.. Consumers'_-only goal in this proceeding has been to manipulate the events and prevent the Board frtan 'seeing the whole truth.
The E
Staff's objections to various documents only underscore the fact that the. Staff did not?do any advance analysis in this cas'e and was

We also inform the-Board that the Court of Appeals has, on June 23, 1977, denied Consumers' Motion to Recall the Mandate and we enclose a copy of that Order.
In light of the papers which were before the Court of Appeals by us which urged'immediate suspension, we regard the Court of. Appeals' decision as a judicial statement that-suspension must-take place in order to have fair remanded hearings.
