Banzhaf Banzhaf & Lynch 2290 East Speedway Blvd. Tucson, Arizona 85701 Re: Nevada Power Company v. Monsanto Company, etal Dear Steve: Enclosed for your reading pleasure is the Order Amending Opinion, Denying Petition For Rehearing, And Rejecting Suggestion For Rehearing En Banc in the above case. Not only did the panel which heard the case unanimously vote not to rehear it, not a single judge on the Ninth Circuit voted to "Rehear En Banc". And adding a final insult to the injury, the amended opinion, instead of attenuating the original one, actually strengthens it. What is TEP inclined to do about this, if anything? Very truly yours, JONES, JONES, CLOSE & BRqWN, CHARTERED CHM:jkk Enclosure Charles H.
