00:10:16,180 --> 00:10:18,180
excused.

400
00:10:20,451 --> 00:10:20,885
If no commissioner has any

401

00:10:53,884 --> 00:10:54,284
at this time, but I hope

413
00:10:54,284 --> 00:10:54,852
we get to type ii

414
00:10:54,852 --> 00:10:55,318
stipulations in which case

415
00:10:55,318 --> 00:10:55,953
we would ask that our

416
00:10:55,953 --> 00:10:56,519

However, if one is

421
00:11:11,802 --> 00:11:12,102
granted, we would request

422
00:11:12,102 --> 00:11:12,469

in those directions then.

428
00:11:14,805 --> 00:11:17,805
