DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
DATE: SEPTEMBER 26, 2023
SUBJECT: SHERRY COLE’S APPEAL OF ORDER NO. 35903 TO THE IDAHO
SUPREME COURT; IPUC CASE NO. SUP-E-23-01.
On September 6, 2023, Sherry Cole filed a Notice of Appeal from Order No. 35903 in Case
No. PAC-E-23-12. The appeal is currently titled “SHERRY COLE, Appellant v. PACIFICORP,
d/b/a ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER COMPANY, Respondent.” Per Idaho Appellate Rule 6, and
Idaho Public Utilities Commission Rules of Procedure 343, the agency may, by order, correct the
title of an appeal at any time before the agency’s record is lodged with the Idaho Supreme Court.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Commission issue an order correcting the title of the appeal to
“SHERRY COLE, Appellant, v. IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION and
PACIFICORP, d/b/a ROCKY MOUNTAIN POWER COMPANY, Respondents on Appeal” to
better reflect the parties’ positions on appeal. Staff also recommends that the Commission’s order
direct the Commission Secretary to file a copy of the order with the Idaho Supreme Court.
COMMISSION DECISION
Does the Commission wish to issue an order:
1) Correcting the title of the appeal as recommended by Staff, and
2) Directing the Commission Secretary to file a copy of the order with the Idaho Supreme
Court?
