In the Matter of:
DOMINIC H. SO,
Complainant
v.
AMERICAN ELECTRICAL POWER,
Respondent
Before: Robert L. Hillyard
Administrative Law Judge
This proceeding arises under the provisions of § 211 of the Energy Reorganization Act, 42 U.S.C. § 5851.
On September 24, 2002, the Complainant, Dominic H. So, filed a Motion to Dismiss With Prejudice Based on Voluntary Settlement, and the parties filed a Confidential Settlement Agreement, Waiver and General Release. The Settlement Agreement is signed by all parties and their attorneys.
Upon review of the agreement, I have concluded that the terms of settlement are fair and reasonable. By the signing of a Confidentiality Agreement, the parties have demonstrated their intent to keep the settlement agreement confidential. The Agreement will remain confidential insofar as provided by law.
Upon consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby,
ORDERED that the Confidential Settlement Agreement, Waiver and General Release is approved and this matter is Dismissed With Prejudice. It is further,
ORDERED that the hearing scheduled for February 4, 2003 in South Bend, Indiana is Canceled.
