IN THE MATTER OF PEPSICO, INC.
Docket 8908. Order, April 12, 1978.
Order establishing an expedited time schedule to provide that all administrative proceedings, including the Commission’s final decision, would be concluded by September 10, 1973.
ORDER On April 3, 1978, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit rendered its decision denying the Commission’s application for an injunction pursuant to the All Writs Act. The injunction was denied on the condition that the parties enter into a hold-separate agreement as directed by the court, pending completion of the expedited administrative proceedings. The Commission had advised the court that it would establish an expedited time schedule to provide that all administrative proceedings, including the Commission’s final decision, would be concluded by September 10, 1973.
Now therefore it is ordered, That all proceedings before the administrative law judge, including the filing of his initial decision shall be concluded by July 23, 1973. The administrative law judge shall determine how much time shall be allocated for prehearing proceedings and for the reception of the evidence, and how much time shall be allocated for preparing and filing his initial decision, so that his initial decision shall be filed by July 28, 1978.
It is further ordered, That in the event either or both parties shall file a notice of intention to appeal the initial decision, the following briefing schedule shall govern: The parties shall submit their respective briefs on or before August 10, 1973, and Complaint 82 F.T.C.
their answering briefs, if any, on or before August 20, 1978, at which date oral argument shall be heard on the matter.
