STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF MOTION
Rocky Mountain Power, the Idaho Public Utilities ComIission Staf and other paries
entered into a settlement stipulation resolving the underlying issues in IPUC Case No. PAC-E-
11-12, including the treatment of the Populus-Termnal trsmission line that is the subject of
ths appea. As par of the stipulation, the Company agreed, upon receipt of a final order
approving the stipulation, to withdraw the appeal curently pending before ths cour. IPUC
Final Order No. 32432 approved the stipulation. Because the settlement stipulation in Case No.

unecessary.
