Date: September 4, 1996

Case No.: 95-ERA-33

In the Matter of:

WILLIAM CIANFRANI,

Complainant,

v.

PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY,

Respondent.

    On August 23, 1996, Administrative Law Judge Campbell issued a Recommended Decision and Order incorporating the terms of the parties' settlement agreement. On August 27, 1996, Judge Campbell issued an Order denying Respondent's motion to issue an amended or redacted Decision and Order, omitting the parties' confidential terms of the settlement agreement. By motion hand-delivered to this Office on August 29, 1996, Respondent requests the undersigned to issue an Order deleting the settlement agreement's confidential provisions from the Recommended Decision and Order.

    Neither the Rules of Practice and Procedure for Administrative Hearings Before the Office of Administrative Law Judges, 29 C.F.R. Part 18, nor the regulations governing the Procedures for the Handling of Discrimination Complaints under the Federal Employee Protection Statutes, 29 C.F.R. Part 24, has any provision regarding the intervention of the Chief Administrative Law Judge into a matter before or disposed of by another administrative law judge. If a party wants further review, they may file a request for reconsideration or an appeal with the appropriate tribunal. I am without jurisdiction to consider Respondent's motion.

JOHN M. VITTONE

Chief Administrative Law Judge
