The Stipulation and Settlement, which is joined by all parties, is filed along with this Motion. In Order No. 36783, the Commission vacated the then-existing deadlines for testimony, public comment, and the customer hearing in an anticipation of the settlement. Because a settlement agreement had not been filed, the Commission vacated most existing deadlines but did not set new ones. Now that the Stipulation and Settlement has been filed, the Company requests that the Commission set appropriate deadlines, including for testimony in support of the settlement, a MOTION TO APPROVE STIPULATION AND SETTLEMENT PAGE 1 OF 3 customer hearing, and public comment. The Company requests that the current technical hearing, scheduled for November 18, 2025, be used to consider the Stipulation and Settlement. For these reasons, and those set forth in the Stipulation and Settlement, the Company respectfully requests that the Commission: set a deadline to process the Stipulation and Settlement, including deadlines for testimony to support the settlement, a customer hearing, public comment, and any other deadline; to use the technical hearing currently scheduled to consider the Stipulation and Settlement; to approve the Stipulation and Settlement; and any other relief that is just under the circumstances.
