snips from the story

"In a letter to the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, Kenneth L. Parker, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, asked the regulators to stay their four investigations into FirstEnergy’s conduct, which overlap in part with the prosecution. He asked for a freeze of at least six months."

snip-"The PUCO proceedings involve issues related the United States’ investigation, and the United States believes that continued discovery in the PUCO proceedings may directly interfere with or impede the United States’ ongoing investigation,” Parker wrote.

A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s office said at the time that its goal is to keep the public informed. She noted the office’s success in securing the deferred prosecution agreement and said “information will become public in due course.”
