`
`
`Dear Judge McAvoy:
`
`We are counsel to Plaintiffs in the above-referenced action.
`
`On July 30, 2020 (Dkt. 25), this Court ordered a stay of the action pending a final
`determination of International Trade Commission Investigation No. 337-TA-1207 (the
`“1207 Investigation”). Plaintiff hereby advises that it has filed a motion to terminate the
`1207 Investigation under 19 C.F.R. § 210.21(a)(1), which provides that (1) Any party
`may move at any time prior to the issuance of an initial determination on violation of
`section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to terminate an investigation in whole or in part as
`to any or all respondents, on the basis of withdrawal of the complaint . . . .” In view of
`the impending termination of that Investigation, Plaintiff hereby requests the stay of the
`instant action be lifted and proceedings resumed, with a Rule 16 conference at the
`Court’s earliest convenience. The final hearing in the ITC Investigation was scheduled
`for April 19, 2021, so the action is currently in a trial-ready state.
`
`Counsel is available should your Honor have any questions.
`
`Very truly yours,
`
`BOND, SCHOENECK & KING, PLLC
