S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit. 'M NCPA LEGAL C=11'11 Gent I amen: Subject: Pending oral argument in the U. S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit Some of your cities, at least, have been receiving notices from the Court that oral argument in two matters will occur on October 2, 1984. A copy of a recent order relating to them, and the hearing notice, is enclosed. The first case, 7854, is the result of a FERC decision in Docket EL82-21 in favor of SNID in a proceeding brought by it to obtain transmission capacity on PG&E's line from the northwest. The FERC decision is reported at 23 FEIBC par 61,042 (April 8, 1983), and the order denying rehearing is reported at 24 FERC par 61,305 (Sept. 22, 1983). The second case. 7633, is the result of a FEW decisi-)n in Docket 1.1.82-3 rejecting the City of Oakland's application, that the Port of Oakland be treated as a wholesale customer The original decision is reported at 24 FERC par 61,010 (Ju.y 18, 1983) and rehearing was denied at 25 FERC par 61,105 (October 20, 1983). NCPA and its "PG&E city" members were allowed to intervene in the Onkland care, on the ground "that any Bete nnination that the PG&E sale to the Port of Oakland is a sale for resale could affect the rate under which the NCPA members purchase." On that basis we have received notice of it, and since SMUD is on the same calendar, we will receive notice of it, too. NCPA and its nr nbers have been neutral, and will not Participate in the appeals. I will be glad to furnish copies of any of the above ci t ied documents if you desire. Sinccr'ly, s/ N In r t in N1cDonough Attorney"
