"Given Mr. Haselden's own admission that he is not an attorney and thus not competent to offer a legal opinion regarding state and federal jurisdiction over the transactions and tariffs at issue..Ecos Energy moves to strike the Direct Testimony in which Mr. Haselden provides a legal opinion regarding FERC's authority."
