United States DC Circuit

In a petition for review of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's order approving a utility company's executive compensation, the petition is denied where: 1) petitioner provided no good reason for the court to create a new due process right to an evidentiary hearing where none existed; and 2) even if the court would have used a different comparison group in determining the executive's compensation, the court could not say that FERC’s decision to accept the utility's analysis was unreasonable.
