MOTION TO DETERMINE EXEMPTION STATUS Page
Idaho Power admits that the Commission issued Order No. 29872 in
Case No. IPC-05-22. Order No. 29872 speaks for itself. The balance of the statements
in Paragraph 2 constitute legal conclusions and arguments , not allegations of fact that can
be admitted or denied. As such, Idaho Power denies the same.
The Affidavit of Armand Eckert contains a mixture of factual
assertions, Mr. Eckert's opinions and legal conclusions. Some of the information
described in the Affidavit has been provided to Idaho Power and some of it has not been.
For these reasons, Idaho Power is without sufficient information to verify the truth or falsity
of the factual allegations contained in the Affidavit of Armand Eckert and , therefore, denies
the same.
