APPEALS ON DISCOVERY RULINGS & CONFEREMCE CALL RULINGS WHICEh DENY ECUAL RIGHTS TO ONE PARTY IN THE PROCEEDING Although the nuestions which I am about to raise in this recuest do not affect "the basic structure of the proceeding"'in the 'hervasive and unusual manner" that my 6/29/81 recuests do, I believe their con ilned effect is that of" seriously harm (ing) the public intrest" by Ilmiting the full participation of one b

E party in a proceeding and thereby limiting the open and fair I

consideration of information relevant to that proceeding.

Respecting and understanding your reluctance "to enter the discovery thicket",as expressed on p. 5 of the Feb. 20, 1981 Thornburg Ruling, I will ask these questions in the abstract.

If the answer to any of these cuestions is yes, I will provide the

[

appropriate supporting evidence at your request.

0503 Would this Appeal Board entertain an interlocutory appeal 5

on any or' all of 'the following. issues?

3) A ruling of untim.11 ness on follow up discovery when that

}

untfaliness is due directly to the other parties failure to

~

answer initial discovery, and therefore unavoidable.

4) Denial of a request to see a document considered confidential by two parties.and relevant to this proceeding.
5) Denial of a recuest to be allowed to attend a meeting with URC Staff and Counsel and CPC Counsel, relevant to this proceeding.
6) Denial of a renuest for certain public documents from Applicant in the manner afforded all other parties.

Respectfully submitted, 4
