SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation

Inc., of Malibu, California (``Arm's Reach''). 72 Federal Register 
11902 (Mar. 14, 2007). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 
in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, 
and the sale within the United States after importation of certain 
bassinet products by reason of infringement of one or more of claims 1-
2, 5, 10-14, 16, and 18-19 of U.S. Patent No. 6,931,677 and claims 1-2, 
10, 15-16, 24, 29-31, and 48-49 of U.S. Patent No. Re. 39,136. The 
complaint further alleged that an industry in the United States exists 
as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The complainant 
requested that the Commission issue a limited exclusion order and a 
cease and desist order. The Commission named Simplicity, Inc., of 
Reading, Pennsylvania (``Simplicity''), as the sole respondent.
    On January 29, 2008, Arm's Reach and Simplicity filed a joint 
motion pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(c) to terminate the 
investigation as to Simplicity on the basis of a consent order 
stipulation and consent order. The Commission investigative attorney 
supported the motion.
    On February 15, 2008, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 25) granting 
the parties' motion, terminating the investigation as to Simplicity, 
and terminating the investigation in its entirety on the basis of a 
consent order stipulation and consent order. No petitions for review of 
the ID were filed, and the Commission has determined not to review the 
ID.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and Commission rules 
210.21, 210.42, 19 CFR 210.21, 210.42.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: March 7, 2008.
