Order Dismissing Applications

Disclaimer of Jurisdiction and Exemption from Section 41105 and Transfer of 41102 Certificate

We advised the applicant on several occasions that, before any action could be taken on these applications, it needed to file the information necessary to determine the fitness of Blue Line. However, to date, it has not done so. Further, Blue Line has informed us that it is no longer interested in pursuing a certificate transfer approval from the Department to obtain Western Pacific's dormant section 41102 certificate. In addition, in October, the trustee for Western Pacific indicated that he had no objection to our dismissing the transfer applications.
