es u h,. Oc12-p.g55 MOTION OF ROCKFORD LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS TO QUASH SUBPOENAS

/g g N O The Rockford League of Women Voters, ("the League"), by its attorneys, moves the Commissien pursuant to 10 C.F.R. sec. 2.720(f) to quash the Deposition Subpoenas of Richard B. Hubbard and Gregory C. Minor set to commence in San Jose, California on October 28, 1981. The grounds for this Motion are as follows:

1. These depositions were set without consultation with counsel for the League and, despite efforts to arrive at a compromise, counsel for Commonwealth Edison Company refuses in good faith to discuss discovery, instead -
wanting unfairly to engage in one-sided conversations beneficial only to l

Commonwealth Edison. See Rockford League of Women Voters Motion for Sanctions and Response of Rockford League of Women Voters to Motion for Sanctions on file with the Commission and dated October 13, 1981. See also Letter to Michael I. Miller, Esq. from Myron M. Cherry dated October 21, 1981 and attached hereto as Exhibit A.

1 c, eh

, t o P Ohk4 jjfg{$h P

2. It is also unclear as to whether or not the subpoena is requiring deponents to testify on matters not relevant to issues in the proceeding. .For example, Commonwealth Edison opposes and refuses to provide discovery on certain of the League's Contentions, yet it is engaging in discovery oi' the League's potential experts on those very issues.
3. Commonwealth Edison is also refusing to pay the . reasonable

. expenses of the deponents for the taking of the depositions (c.1though it has offered to pay deponents for the time of the taking of the deposition).

~

The deponents in order to answer questions will have to prepare and review information for some days prior to the depositions, yet Commonwealth Edison is refusing to pay those expenses even though Edison's attorneys, Isham, Lincoln &

Beale, fought and lost before the NRC the very same issue in connection with the very same witnesses in the Black Fox proceeding. See Order on taking of

. depositions of MHB Technical Associates, Black Fox proceeding.

4. In addition, the setting of the depositions is inconvenient to the witnesses and to counsel for the League for a variety of reasons:
a. The depositions require on short notice the gathering of multitudes of '>cuments without an opportunity for the League to consult with MHB Technical Associates;
b. Commonwealth Edison did not tender (notwithstanding 'its l statements in its application to the Chairman) the fees for the reasonable services of MHB Technical Associates as required by i

Commission Rules of Practice. -Rather, Commonwealth Edison in defiance of its representations to the Board simply _ tendered a $30.00 l

check to the deponents. See Letter from MIIB Technical Associates to l l I. - ... - . . - . . _ . L - , . - . - - -. - .. - _ - - - - . - .  :: :~

e League's Counsel dated October 12,1981, an'd attached- hereto as Exhibit B; see also MHB's Fee Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit C and a 1

xerox of the checks tendered to deponents attached hereto as - Exhibit D;

c. The ' depositions were set without consultation with the l League's principal counsel who has just '.ecently. finished a trial lasting through all of August and most of September preceding which counsel

.was engaged in over five months of depositions. Moreover, counsel for the League is getting married November 8, plans for which have been set some time and no courtesies have been extended even on that score by Commonwealth Edison's counsel; and

d. The depositions were set in California, the most inconvenient place for the parties in this cause and under the circumstances if the depositions are to take place in California, Commonwealth Edison should be required to pay the League's expenses for their lawyer to attend (or alternatively set the depositions in Chicago to that it is overall less expensive for all the parties).
5. These series of depositions scheduled are intended solely for harassment and the product of a lawyer's knee-jerk reaction to a November 1, 1981 discovery cut-off date rather than the product of reasoned analysis in a good faith manner.

l l

t i

r WHEREFORE, for the reasons stated herein (as well as the reasons stated in the Rockford League of Women Voters Motion for Sanctions and Response of Rockford League of Women Voters to Motion for Sanctions which are incorporated herein) Commonwealth Edison's Subpoenas directed against Richard B.

Hubbard and Grcgory C. Minor of MHB Technical Associates should be quashed and reset only after consultation and upon just and reasonable terms, including fair payment tc MIIB Technical Associates and requiring that the depositions be held in Chicago unless Commonwealth Edison pays League's counsel's cxpenses.1 Respectfully, OCKFORD LEAGUE OF WOM'EN VOTERS N

1. Despite all the rancor, the League's counsel is perfectly willing to discuss settlement of this discovery dispute including the resetting of these depositions on reasonable notice. But discovery is a two-way street and the arrogance of Commonwealth Edison and its counsel must cease or this proceeding will become a shambles. In addition, the League is filing a Motion to reset the discovery schedule for good reasons and thus there should be no reason why just discovery by Commonwealth Edison will not take place.

v. Ocnnonwealth Edison 02npany

Dear Mike:

A few mcments ago you called my office wanting to discuss depositions in the NPC case which you had scheduled without any mnsultation with me, or for that matter any other party to the NBC proceeding. I told you, among other things, that I was not interested in discussing one-sided discovery but would be more than willing to discuss the whole question about outstanding discovery in the NPC case, as well as the ICC case (which your associate Mr. Murphy had once agreed to but then breached), and you refused to do so.

I am quite disappointed in the manner of your representation, but I cannot in good conscience agree to one-sided bargaining.

Accordingly, I intend to inform the Board by Motion that these Inatters should be resolved in an appugiate manner under the Rules.

Dear Peter:

MHB was served with the attached three sub-poenas from Commonwealth Edison (Isham, Lincoln and Beale) on October 12. Accompanying the sub-poenas were three (3) checks for $30 each.

As Greg and you have discussed in the pas t, we should obtain ILGB's payment in advance for the deposition and documents in accordance with the standard MHB rates as set forth in the July 1, 1981 MHB rate schedule. Let's also discuss the need per 10CFR 2. 720(f) to submit a motion to quash.
