On June 30, 2023, Viking filed an Omnibus Motion for Monetary and NonMonetary Sanctions Against Respondents and their Counsel, alleging failure to cooperate during discovery, failure to cooperate during forensic examinations, and violations of the terms of certain orders. On August 10, 2023, Foster, Murphy, Altman & Nickel, PC (‘‘Foster Murphy’’) moved to intervene in this investigation for the limited purpose of defending Foster Murphy and its attorneys’ interest in response to complainant Viking’s omnibus motion for sanctions. The motion was unopposed.

Order No. 37 (Aug. 28, 2023). The ALJ states that the sanctions motion seeks joint and several liability between the Ascletis Respondents and Foster Murphy for discovery abuse. Id. at 4–5. The ALJ finds that Viking’s sanctions motion makes specific allegations that implicate Foster Murphy and its attorneys. Id. at 5. The ALJ finds that, in view of these separate interests, the limited purpose of the intervention, and the lack of opposition, Foster Murphy’s motion to intervene is granted. Id. at 6. No party filed a petition for review. The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The Commission vote for this determination took place on September 22, 2023. 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).
