Office of Administrative Law Judges 800 K Street, NW, Suite 400-N Washington, DC 20001-8002

Issue date: 07Jun2002

Case No.: 2001-ERA-00024

In the Matter of

STEVEN P. RUDOCK,
    Claimant

   v.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON
    Respondent

   On June 4, 2002, the parties submitted their executed settlement agreement in this case. They have requested that the terms of the settlement be kept confidential, and that respondent's pre-disclosure notification rights under 29 C.F.R. §70.26 (2001) be protected. Accordingly, the terms of the settlement will not be outlined here. Further, both parties are represented by counsel; and since I have not heard the case and have no basis to determine the merits of the respective parties' positions, I have no basis to second-guess the parties regarding the terms of the settlement.

   Accordingly, it is recommended that the settlement agreement be approved.
