Westinghouse Electric Corp. v. Hendrie

No. 79-2110 (D.D.C. August 31, 1979)

ELR Digest

The court denies plaintiff's request for injunctive and declaratory relief compelling the Secretary of State and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to process and issue a license authorizing plaintiff to export to the Phillipines a nuclear steam supply system to be used in a nuclear power plant. Ten days after the suit was filed, plaintiff and the Department of State entered into a stipulation under which the latter agreed to take final action on the licensing decision within five weeks. Finding further judicial action unnecessary, the court dismisses the complaint.
