February 27, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 39 ORDER granting #38 Joint MOTION to Clarify Oral Order. This Court does not set the agenda for the Commission's hearings. The parties informed the Court that a hearing will be held in early to mid March. The Court hopes that the Commission will elect to consider what you call the "Comport" issue as well as the environmental, health and safety issues concerning the proposed drilling that appear to be the subject of this litigation. In the Court's view, the Commission should have an opportunity to address all those issues before a federal court determines whether and to what extent it can or should become involved. Ideally, the issues will be resolved in the state system, whether that be the Commission, the state courts, or the legislature. By Judge R. Brooke Jackson on 2/27/19. Text Only Entry (rbjsec. )
