Subsection 78-2-2(1) 1 RULES American Bar Association Model Rule 7.2 28, 29 Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 4, 5,13 Rule 41 of the Utah Rules of Appellate Procedure 1 vi JURISDICTION Under Subsection 78-2-2(1) of the Utah Code Ann., the Utah Supreme Court has original jurisdiction to answer questions of state law certified by a court of the United States. On March 21,2005, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit issued an Order Certifying State Law Question, certifying the question to this Court which is quoted below under Statement of the Issues. In compliance with Rule 41 of the Utah Rules of Appellate Procedure, this certification Order was directed to the Utah Supreme Court, set forth the question to be answered, and stated that this question is a controlling issue of law in the proceeding pending before that court and that there appears to be no controlling Utah law. In response, the Utah Supreme Court entered an Order of Acceptance on May 19, 2005, also in compliance with Rule 41 of the Utah Rules of Appellate Procedure. Therefore, this Court has jurisdiction to decide the certified question of law. STATEMENT OF THE ISSUES The following question certified by the Tenth Circuit Court to the Utah Supreme Court is the issue presented for review: Whether Defendants violated Utah Code Ann. § 13-1 la-3(l)(b), (d), or (t) when they published in their 2003-2004 Ogden-area telephone directory a table of numerical prefixes associated with "a local calling are" and advertisements by third parties that include a market 1 expansion line telephone number without any physical business address; and if so, whether Defendants are exempt from liability under Utah Code Ann. § 13-lla-5(l). STANDARD OF REVIEW AND EVIDENCE OF PRESERVATION This issue should be reviewed as a question of law, giving no deference to the trial court's decision, for two reasons. First, the trial court ruled on this issue as a matter of law, dismissing the case on the pleadings. Thus the pleadings set forth the applicable facts. Prows v. State, 822 P.2d 764, 766 (Utah 1991); E.L DuPont de Nemours & Co. v. Florida Evergreen Foliage, 744 A.2d 457,460 (Del. 1999).1 Second, this issue has been certified by the federal appellate court to answer a question of state law. Miller v. United States, 2004 UT 96, \2, 104 P.3d 1202; Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. v. Dynamic Air, Inc., 702 N.W.2d 237, 240 (Minn. 2005). Accordingly, no deference should be given to the federal trial court. This issue was preserved in federal court because it was addressed in the Amended Complaint and in the Memorandum in Opposition filed by plaintiff Robert J. DeBry and Associates, P.C. (hereafter DeBry) and it was ruled on by the District Court in the Order. Appellant Appendix (hereafter Record or R.) at 66-68,136, 138-139. Although this Court presumes the allegations of the Amended Complaint to be true, the issue of whether the Federal District Court followed the applicable federal rule is not for this Court to decide. City ofTahlequah v. Lake Region Electric, Co-op., Inc., 47 P.3d 467,470 (Okla. 2002). 2 DETERMINATIVE LAW STATUTES. ETC. TO BE INTERPRETED The statute which includes the provisions cited in the certified question, which is determinative, and which is to be interpreted in this matter, is Chapter 11a of Title 13, found in the Appendix hereto. Of particular importance are the following portions of that statute: 13-11-3. Deceptive trade practices enumerated - Records to be kept - Defenses. (1) Deceptive trade practices occur when, in the course of his business, vocation, or occupation: (b) A person causes likelihood of confusion or of misunderstanding as to the source, sponsorship, approval, or certification of goods or services. (d) A person uses deceptive representations or designations of geographic origin in connection with goods or services. (t) A person engages in any other conduct which similarly creates a likelihood of confusion or of misunderstanding. 13-11-5* Exemptions. This chapter does not apply to: (1) conduct in compliance with the orders or rules of, or a statute administered by, a federal, state, or local governmental agency; 3 STATEMENT OF THE CASE DeBry established law offices in the metropolitan areas of Ogden and Provo, Utah.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEWS MEDIA CONTACT: August 7, 2003 Mike Balmoris at (202) 418-0253 Email: [email protected] FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION RELEASES STUDY ON TELEPHONE TRENDS Washington, D.C. – Today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released its Trends in Telephone Service report, which summarizes in one convenient reference, information published in various reports over the course of the past year. The report provides answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about the telephone industry asked by consumers, members of Congress, other government agencies, telecommunications carriers, and members of the business and academic communities. Highlights from the report include: Advanced Telecommunications Services • High-speed lines (over 200 kbps in at least one direction) connecting homes and businesses to the Internet increased by 23% during the second half of 2002, from about 16.2 million lines in service as of June 30, 2002 to 19.9 million as of December 31, 2002. • About 13.0 million high-speed lines provided speed of over 200 kbps in both directions as of December 31, 2002, and thus met the Commission’s definition of advanced services, compared to about 10.4 million as of June 30, 2002. Local Telephone Competition • As of December 2002, competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) provided 24.8 million (or 13.2%) of the approximately 188 million nationwide local telephone lines that were in service to end users as opposed to 21.6 million (or 11.4%) of nationwide local telephone lines as of June 2002.

  • Ar 464, Comments/Response, 2/7/2005
    BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF OREGON Docket No. AR 464 IN THE MATTER OF A PROPOSED COMMENTS OF DEX MEDIA, INC., RULEMAKING FOR INCLUSION OF OPPOSING A PROPOSED RULEMAKING HUMAN SERVICES LISTINGS IN FOR INCLUSION OF HUMAN SERVICES TELEPHONE DIRECTORIES. PETITION LISTINGS IN TELEPHONE FILED BY JIM LONG. DIRECTORIES I. INTRODUCTION Dex Media, Inc. ("Dex"), appreciates having this opportunity to submit comments regarding the proposed rulemaking by the Oregon Public Utility Commission (the "Commission"). As discussed in greater detail below, Dex opposes any Commission regulation of the formatting and editorial content of directories, including one that mandates or encourages the inclusion of "human services" listings in the government blue-bordered section of telephone directories (commonly known as "blue pages") published by regulated carriers and independent publishers. The business of directory publication is neither a "utility" service nor a monopoly that would justify Commission regulation. Dex opposed the proposed rule for a number of reasons: (1) the current format in Dex's directories already contains the desired listings searchable by a user-friendly index; (2) there is no need for a blue pages rule because of the availability of other sources; (3) a blue pages Page 1 - Comments of Dex Media, Inc., Opposing a Proposed Rulemaking for Inclusion of Human Services Listings in Telephone Directories PDXDOCS:1447006.3 MILLER NASH LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW TELEPHONE (503) 224-5858 3400 U.S. BANCORP TOWER 111 S.W.
