Orpver Direcrinc THE REOPENING oF PrRocEEDING FOR THE RECEPTION or Furtuer Evipence On March 81, 1964, respondent in the above-captioned proceeding, pursuant to Section 3.20 of the Commission's Procedures and Rules of practice (effective August 1, 1964), requested permission to file an interlocutory appeal from an order of the hearing examiner of March 24, 1964, denying respondent's motions to exclude certain documentary evidence on the ground that it had been ilegally obtained. The Commission declined to permit the filing of the interlocutory appeal on the ground that “respondent here has not presented sufficient grounds to justify an immediate decision as to the correctness of the hearing examiner’s rulings.” The Commission has now determined to reconsider respondent’s request to file an interlocutory appeal; to entertain the appeal; to vacate the hearing examiner's order of March 24, 1964; and to direct further proceedings before the hearing examiner with respect to the subject matter of the appeal. Accordingly, It is ordered. That the hearing examiner shall, pursuant to Section 3.21(d) (I) of the Commission’s Procedures and Rules of Practice, reopen the above-captioned proceeding for the reception of the testimony of Bernard Turiel, Esq., and Ernest Brod, Esq., and such other evidence as the examiner deems pertinent to resolve the issues raised by the motions of respondent denied by the order of the hearing examiner of March 2+, 1964.
