ORDER
OF THE BOARD (by J. Anderson):
On November 16, 1992, The Grigoleit Company (Grigoleit)
filed a response to the Board’s October 29, 1992 order in this
matter and a motion to continue. In its October 29, 1992 order,
the Board directed the parties to file status reports with the
Board by November 16, 1992. On that same date, Roy M. Harsch
filed his appearance on behalf of Grigoleit.
In its response, Grigoleit requests the Board to continue
this matter and require the parties to file a status report on or
before January 15, 1993. In support of its request, Grigoleit
states that it and the Agency continue to engage in settlement
negotiations which would, if successful, culminate in the
settlement of this case as well as the following three cases:
PCB 90—135, The Grigoleit Com~anvv. Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency PCB 91-157, People of the State of Illinois v.
The Gripoleit ComPany and PCB 92-23, The Grigoleit Company v.
Illinois Environmental Protection A~ency. Grigoleit adds that an
initial draft settlement from the Attorney General has given rise
to the identification of conflicts between Grigoleit and certain
other clients represented by Grigoleit’s attorneys. As a result,
Grigoleit found it necessary to retain new counsel to assist in
the negotiations. Grigoleit adds that it anticipates being in a
position to respond in writing to the initial draft settlement as
soon as its new counsel has become familiarized with all of the
cases. Finally, Grigoleit states that it believes that an
economic settlement is possible and that the four cases currently
pending before the Board, as well the appeal of PCB 89—184 before
the Fourth District Appellate Court (No. 4-92-0029), will be
resolved.
In light of the above, the Board grants Grigoleit’s motion
to continue. Accordingly, the Board will reserve ruling on
Grigoleit’s September 3, 1992 motion for reconsideration that is
currently pending in this case. The parties are directed to file
status reports in this matter. Such status reports are to be
received by the Board no later than January 15, 1993.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
