ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

granting a joint motion to terminate the investigation based on a 
settlement agreement. The investigation is terminated in its entirety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on May 29, 2019, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Style Pantry 
LLC (``Style Pantry'') of Beverly Hills, California. 84 FR 24816 (May 
29, 2019). The complaint, as amended, alleges violations of section 337 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based upon the 
importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the 
sale within the United States after importation of certain female 
fashion dresses, jumpsuits, maxi skirts, and accoutrements by reason of 
false designation, false description, dilution, and obtaining sales by 
false claim of association, the threat or effect of which is to destroy 
or substantially injure an industry in the United States. The notice of 
investigation named Amazon.com Inc. (``Amazon'') of Seattle, 
Washington; Xunyun, Jiaxing Xunyung Imp & Exp Co. Ltd of Zhejiang, 
China; and Jianzhang Liao, Pinkqueen Apparel Inc. of Xiamen, China as 
respondents. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (``OUII'') was 
also named as a party in this investigation.
    Respondents Xunyun, Jiaxing Xunyung Imp & Exp Co. Ltd and Jianzhang 
Liao, Pinkqueen Apparel Inc. were found in default pursuant to 19 CFR 
210.16, for failure to respond to the complaint and notice of 
investigation. See Order No. 7 (Dec. 3, 2019), not rev'd by Comm'n 
Notice (Dec. 26, 2019).
    On January 22, 2020, Style Pantry and Amazon filed a joint motion 
to terminate the investigation based on a settlement agreement. On 
February 3, 2020, OUII filed a response in support of the motion.
    On February 4, 2020, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the 
joint motion to terminate pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(b)(1) (19 
CFR 210.21(b)(1)). See Order No. 9 at 1-2 (Feb. 4, 2020). The ALJ found 
that the motion to terminate complies with the Commission's rules, and 
there is no evidence that terminating this investigation by settlement 
would be contrary to the public interest. Id. at 2. No petitions for 
review were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The 
investigation is terminated in its entirety.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
part 210).

    By order of the Commission.

    Dated: March 5, 2020.
William Bishop,
Supervisory Hearings and Information Officer.
