BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF CDS STONERIDGE Case No.: SWS-W-24-01
UTILITIES, LLC'S APPLICATION FOR
AUTHORITY TO INCREASE ITS RATES STONERIDGE PROPERTY OWNERS
AND CHARGES FOR WATER SERVICE ASSOCIATION'S JOINDER IN
IN THE STATE OF IDAHO SUPPORT OF GARRISON'S MOTION
TO DISMISS APPLICATION, AND
RESPONSE TO IPUC STAFF'S
MOTION TO SUSPEND MATTER&
VACATE COMMENT DEADLINES
Stoneridge Property Owners Association ("SPOA"), by and through its counsel of record,
Parsons Behle & Latimer, hereby joins in Garrison's Motion to Dismiss Application, and
responds to IPUC Staff s Motion to Suspend Matter&Vacate Comment Deadlines, as follows:
SPOA supports, and joins in, Garrison's Motion to Dismiss Application. Stoneridge
Utilities is unrepresented, has failed— and seems incapable - to respond to discovery adequately,
and is otherwise not prepared to advance the current rate case forward. It is unfair and
inappropriate to require Intervenors and customers to participate and incur additional expenses in
the current rate case. The current application should therefore be dismissed. Stoneridge Utilities
can then file a new application when it is ready to proceed, without further burdening others in
the meantime.

In no event should the rate case be allowed to proceed under the current schedule or
under a Modified Procedure. Multiple objections have been filed in opposition to the Modified
Procedure previously adopted by the Commission. The Idaho PUC Staff s Motion to Suspend
Matter & Vacate Comment Deadlines would in essence set aside the schedule previously
approved by the Commission. If Staffs motion is granted, the Commission's order should
expressly vacate the Modified Procedure for the reasons set forth in the motion and for the
additional reasons set forth in the objections to Modified Procedure that have been filed.
DATED this day of 17t'June, 2024.
