July 10, 1992);   Massachusetts v. United States Nuclear Regulatory Comm'n, 924 F.2d 311, 324 (D.C.Cir.), cert. denied, 112 S.Ct. 275 (1991).

The merits of the parties' positions are so clear as to justify summary action.   See Cascade Broadcasting Group, Ltd. v. FCC, 822 F.2d 1172, 1174 (D.C.Cir.1987) (per curiam);   Walker v. Washington, 627 F.2d 541, 545 (D.C.Cir.)  (per curiam), cert. denied, 449 U.S. 994 (1980).
