Item 5. Other Materially Important Events
Entergy Corporation and Gulf States Utilities Company
U.S. District Judge Frank Polozola, on Tuesday, October 24,
issued a memorandum opinion ruling in favor of Gulf States
Utilities on Cajun Electric Power Cooperative's fraud claims
involving its decision to invest in the River Bend nuclear plant.
The court also found that Cajun's claim had not been timely
filed. In his ruling Judge Polozola said that he would issue
detailed reasons for his decision in a further written opinion to
be filed at a later date. The court did not indicate when the
formal written opinion would be filed.
Entergy's representatives, as the court and the Louisiana
Public Service Commission have urged, will continue to discuss
the possibility of settling the remaining issues in the
litigation with all parties involved. Should settlement
discussions prove unsuccessful, the second phase of the lawsuit
involving breach of contract issues may ultimately be tried
unless Cajun's trustee in bankruptcy decides to forego the claim.
Judge Polozola retains jurisdiction over the bankruptcy case
where he will decide major River Bend issues and maintaining
overall supervision of the case. Bankruptcy Judge Gerald Schiff
will handle normal bankruptcy issues arising in the case.
