Vizio's Motion To Amend In Digital Televisions Investigation Denied
The public version of Chief ALJ Bullock's November 23 order denying Vizio, Inc.'s motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation in Inv. No. 337-TA-789, Certain Digital Televisions and Components Thereof, has been released. Vizio sought to amend the motion to add two new respondents, Coby Electronics Co., Ltd. of China and Coby Manufacturing Co., Ltd. of Hong Kong. Chief ALJ Bullock found that Vizio had failed to show good cause to amend the complaint and notice of investigation because Vizio was aware of the third parties' relationship with a current respondent, Coby Electronics Corp., no later than August 2011 and Vizio's delay of two months before requesting the amendment would be prejudicial to the Coby parties given the current procedural schedule.
