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

Goeffrey F. Brown and Susan P. Kennedy, in their official capacities

as Commissioners of the Public Utilities Commission of the State of

California, respond that further briefing before this Court is not

necessary and that the Court should remand the paging calls issue to

the Commission.

Plaintiff Verizon California, Inc. and Counterclaimant Pac-West

Telecomm, Inc. jointly respond that they are actively engaged in

settlement discussions. They request that the Court afford them

additional time to continue working on a resolution to the paging

calls issue before stating any final position on whether further

briefing is necessary. Specifically, they ask for approximately

forty-five additional days. 

The Court grants this request. If Verizon and Pac-West are

unable to resolve the paging calls issue within that time, Verizon

is ordered to file a brief on December 1, 2006 addressing whether

additional briefing before this Court is necessary or whether the

case, and the paging calls issue, should be remanded to the

Commission. Pac-West's brief on the same issue is due on

December 8, 2006. The Court will then review parties' papers and

issue an order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 11/3/06
