F.3d 1142 (9th Cir. 2006). As to that issue, the Ninth Circuit 

reversed and remanded.

Pursuant to this Court's September 14, 2006 order, the parties

submitted briefing on whether any further proceedings in this Court

are necessary or whether the Court should remand this case, and the

issue regarding calls to paging customers, to the Commission. 

Defendants Michael R. Peevey, Loretta M. Lynch, Carl W. Woods,

Geoffrey F. Brown and Susan P. Kennedy, in their official

capacities as Commissioners of the Public Utilities Commission of

the State of California, respond that, in light of the Ninth

Circuit's opinion, additional briefing before this Court is not

necessary; they request that the Court remand this case, and the

issue regarding calls to paging customers, to the Commission. 

Verizon and Pac-West agree that this case and that issue should be

remanded to the Commission.

Having reviewed the parties' papers and underlying decisions,

the Court agrees that further proceedings in this Court are not

necessary. Therefore, the Court remands this case to the

Commission. Judgement shall enter accordingly.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
