DENNIS J. SALLAZ
CASE NO. QWE-06-
COMPLAINANT,
ORDER NO. 30131
QWEST CORPORATION,
RESPONDENT.
On March 7, 2006, a formal complaint was filed by Dennis J. Sallaz against Qwest
Corporation. In correspondence dated April 11, 2006, Qwest's attorney informed Staff that the
Company was attempting to resolve the issues raised in Mr. Sallaz s complaint. On August
2006, Qwest's attorney sent a letter to Staff advising that a satisfactory resolution had been
reached between the parties. Qwest asked "that the Commission review this matter and take the
necessary steps to dismiss the complaint." On August 17, 2006, Staffs attorney sent a letter to
Mr. Sallaz asking for confirmation that the complaint against Qwest may be dismissed. The
letter instructed Mr. Sallaz that if he did not respond within seven days, Staff would "accept
Qwest's representation that the issues are fully resolved " and Staff would recommend dismissal
of the complaint. Mr. Sallaz did not respond to the Staff letter.
Based on the representation by Qwest that the matter has been resolved, and the lack
of response or other activity regarding the complaint by Mr. Sallaz, the Commission finds that
the complaint in Case No. QWE-06-05 should be dismissed, but without prejudice for Mr.
Sallaz to refile the complaint should issues remain unresolved.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Complaint in Case No. QWE-06-05 is
dismissed without prejudice.
THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order may petition for
reconsideration within twenty-one (21) days of the service date of this Order. Within seven (7)
days after any person has petitioned for reconsideration, any other person may cross-petition for
reconsideration. See Idaho Code ~ 61-Q26.
