________________________________________x CON EDISON'S MOTION TO STRIKE PORTIONS OF TESTIMONY UNDER QUESTIONS 3 AND 4 OF CERTAIN ROCKLAND COUNTY WITNESSES Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (" Con Edison") hereby moves for an order striking portions of the Testimony and Supplemental Testimony under Commission Questions 3 and 4 filed by certain witnesses for Rockland County.

Three witnesses (Dr. Bernard Flicker, Donald Hastings and Donald P. McGuire) state that they will provide essential information when the time comes to testify. This is in flagrant violation of the Board's order and the Commission's rules that all testimony shall be prefiled.

The' flaws in the Rockland County's witness' testimony

-fall into a number of recurring types. For the convenience of the Board, we have identified the various~ types, given them abbreviations, and listed the objectionable' passages by page, line, and type of infirmity.

Much of the-testimony is merely conclusory. It presents

-a statement with no supporting factual material. Many statements purportedly presenting factual material are entirely without-foundation for introduction of that material. Moreover, many of the factual assertions are hearsay, and-'are not supported by personal knowledge of the witness. Some statements are irrelevant, immaterial, or beyond the scope of Commission Questions 3 and 4. Finally, some of the statements are purely speculative.

Objection Abbreviations (C) Conclusory .

(F) Inadequate foundation-(H) Hearsay and/or' lack of personal knowledge (R) Irrelevant, immaterial, and/or beyond the scope of Commission Questions 3 and 4 (S) Speculative
