ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.
C. Marlin):
On September 30, 1992, the Agency filed a motion for extension
of time through October 5,
1992 in which to file its response to
petitioner’s September 11, 1992 motion for summary judgment.
Among
other things, counsel for the Agency notes that the issues involved
in this case involve “substantially the same issue of statutory and
regulatory
construction
as
is present
in”
another pending
case
Harlem Township v. IEPA, PCB 92-83.
Counsel states that he is also
responsible for that case, and that preparation of his response in
that case prevented timely preparation of response in this one.
Additionally, the Agency suggest that the Board defer decision in
this case until after Harlem is decided.
Although the response time for respondent’s motion has not
run, the Board will rule upon the motion to prevent “undue delay”
in the resolution of this action.
The Board does
not believe that
this early ruling will result in “material prejudice” to Ramada,
given the interrelationship of this case with Harlem.
(See 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 101.241(b)).
The Agency’s motion for extension of time is hereby granted.
As the Agency
requests,
the response
is due to be
filed on
or
before October 5,
1992.
IT IS SO
ORDERED.
