ORDER SCHEDULING PREHEARING CONFERENCE

An initial prehearing conference was held on April 22, 2022. A second prehearing conference was held on September 7, 2022.

On June 9, 2023, Respondent filed a motion for summary decision. Respondent also requested oral argument on the motion. Complaint Counsel has said he does not believe oral argument is necessary, but that he would be available for argument and that argument would not affect the current prehearing schedule agreed to by the parties.

Upon consultation, the parties agreed to convene a third prehearing conference for oral argument. Other relevant matters, such as the status of discovery motions, matters to be included in the final prehearing order, and any other prehearing issues the parties need to address may also be discussed. See16 CFR 1025.21(c) (2022).

Each party shall be permitted 20 minutes for argument. As movant, Respondent shall be permitted to reserve five (5) minutes of its time for rebuttal.

A third prehearing conference shall be held as follows:

Date: Thursday, June 29, 2022.

Time: 11:00 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.

Means: Zoom [link provided to those listed in Distribution].

The CPSC is working to secure a court reporter for the prehearing conference. I direct that notice of this conference be published in the Federal Register . 16 CFR 1025.21(b) (2022).
