(Oklahoma
City) An Oklahoma Corporation Commission Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) today
granted ONEOK’s request for a stay in the Attorney General’s request asking the
Commission to issue a contempt order against ONEOK, the parent company of
Oklahoma Natural Gas.
The ALJ agreed with ONEOK’s contention that
the issues involved in the Attorney General’s request were essentially the same
as those involved in an earlier contempt order from the Commission. That order
is currently under appeal before the State Supreme Court.
At
issue is ONEOK’s refusal to comply with a Commission order that it submit
documents related to natural gas sales made last winter.
The
parties have until Monday (September 10) to appeal the ALJ’s finding to the
Commissioners.
