NOTICE OF NONACTION ON LATE FILING

 

Issue Date: July 18, 2014                                                                                 

 

On July 11, 2014, the Commission issued an order denying Mr. Mershon’s Motion to Extend Time to File the Preliminary Response to the Report and Order[1]. Nonetheless, on July 18th, Mr. Mershon filed his Preliminary Response to the Former Regulatory Judge’s Report and Order. Mr. Mershon indicates that this is, “only a preliminary response.” The Commission will not consider Mr. Mershon’s response, since it was submitted a month late and after the Commission’s order on his application for rehearing[2].

The Commission issued its Order Denying Application for Rehearing on July 2nd. Therefore, by statute, Mr. Mershon has thirty days from his receipt of the order denying his application for rehearing to file a notice of appeal. Neither Mr. Mershon’s Preliminary Response to the Former Regulatory Judge’s Report and Order nor any future response will extend the thirty days deadline for Mr. Mershon to file a notice of appeal of the Commission’s Report and Order.

A copy of section 386.510 of the Missouri Revised Statutes −  which sets the deadline and procedure for pursuing an appeal of the Commission’s Report and Order with the appellate court − was mailed to Mr. Mershon with the Commission’s July 11th order.

The Commission hereby provides notice that no action will be taken by the Commission on Mr. Mershon’s July 18th Preliminary Response to the Former Regulatory Judge’s Report and Order.

Kim S. Burton, Regulatory

[1] The Commission’s Order Denying Motions also rejected Mr. Mershon’s Objection to the Denial of Mr. Craig Mershon’s Preliminary Response to Mr. Daniel Jordans Report and Order [sic].

[2] On June 4, 2014, the Commission granted Mr. Mershon’s request for additional time and set the deadline for him to file a response for June 18, 2014; later than he requested in his motion. The Commission then did not rule on the application until July 2, 2014, which essentially provided Mr. Mershon additional time in which to file his response.
