RESPONDENTS.
BEFORE: THE SECRETARY OF LABOR
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Before me for my review is the [Recommended] Order of
Dismissal issued on July 20, 1988, by Administrative Law Judge
Edward Terhune Miller in the above-captioned case, which arises
under the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended,
42 U.S.C. § 5851 (1982). The ALJ's order granted the several
motions of Respondents United States Department of Energy, du
Pont, Blount Brothers, and B.F. Shaw Company to dismiss the
complaint for lack of jurisdiction.
The jurisdictional issue in this case is the same issue as
is before me in Case No. 86-ERA-15, which involves the identical
parties, and in Case No. 87-ERA-12, which involves a complaint
filed by Joy P. Adams against the same Respondents. Those cases
have been consolidated as to the issue of jurisdiction, and
presently are pending before me.
Accordingly, the parties are directed to show cause why I
should not stay further proceedings in this case until the issue
of jurisdiction in the consolidated cases, Case No. 87-ERA-15 and
Case No. 87-ERA-12, is decided. Responses to this order should
be filed within ten (10) days of receipt of this order.
