ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J.C. Marlin):

On April

9,

1992,

the Board entered an order directing that

hearing be scheduled on or before May 11 and completed on or before

July

15,

1992

or

this

matter

would

be

subject

to

dismissal.

Hearing was scheduled for July 10,

1992.

On

July

7,

1992,

the

parties

filed

a

joint

motion •for

continuance.

The motion states that:

The parties have resolved the

issues in the matter and

have reached a settlement agreement.

The expense to both

parties of conducting a hearing, including travel costs

to Centralia,

would be

substantial.

No member of the

public has requested to intervene in this matter or has

indicated any interest in the matter to either party or

to the hearing officer.

The Board notes that the decision deadline

in this case is

currently October

1,

1992.

Continuance of the hearing absent an

additional waiver would prejudice the Board’s ability to deliberate

this matter.

The motion

to

continue

is

denied.

However,

the

hearing officer is authorized to continue the hearing to a date no

later than October

9,

1992

in the event an appropriate waiver

is

received.

If hearing

is not completed on or before October

9,

1992, this matter will be subject to dismissal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
