`
`
`
`RESPONDENT BIDI VAPOR’S MOTION TO TERMINATE ON THE BASIS OF
`CONSENT ORDER STIPULATION AND PROPOSED CONSENT ORDER AND

`
`Pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21, Respondent Bidi Vapor, LLC (“Respondent” or
`
`“Bidi Vapor”) respectfully moves for termination of this Investigation based on the Consent Order
`
`Stipulation (Ex. 1) and Proposed Consent Order (Ex. 2) attached to the supporting memorandum.
`
`The Consent Order Stipulation (Ex. 1) contains the admissions, waivers, statements, and
`
`other requirements of Commission Rule 210.21(c). Respondent submits that entry of the Proposed
`
`Consent Order (Ex. 2) and Termination of this Investigation will serve the public interest, which
`
`favors the early resolution of disputes to avoid needless litigation and to conserve public and
`
`private resources.
`
`Entering the Consent Order will promote administrative economy by obviating the need
`
`for a determination with respect to the Accused Products. Moreover, entering the attached Consent
`
`Order will not impose an undue burden on the public health and welfare, competitive conditions
`
`in the U.S. economy, production of like or directly competitive articles in the United States, or
`
`U.S. consumers.
