Administrative Law Judge [[N. Wesley Hunt]] issued [[Order No. 4 Suspending Entergy's Rates|Order No. 4]] under Ark. Code Ann. § 23-4-407(a) and directed the parties to propose a procedural schedule including two public comment hearings before the evidentiary hearing. ## Sources - [[Order No. 4 Suspending Entergy's Rates]] — Order No. 4 in Docket 26-001-U. ## Significance The suspension puts the rate case on a contested-hearing track rather than letting the proposed rates take effect by default. It places the $44.6 million increase under Commission and intervenor review, with public comment hearings built into the schedule.
