ORDER TERMINATING FINAL JUDGMENT
WHEREAS, the Court has received the motion of Plaintiff, United States of America,
for termination of the final judgment entered in the above-captioned case, and the Court has
considered all papers filed in connection with this motion; and
WHEREAS, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(5) provides that “[o]n motion and
just terms, the court may relieve a party . . . from a final judgment . . . [when] applying it
prospectively is no longer equitable.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(5); and
WHEREAS, the sole corporate defendant appears to no longer exist based on a search
of corporate records with the New York Department of State Division of Corporations and
other publicly available records. Doc. 1-4 ¶¶ 5-7; and
WHEREAS, the United States has provided adequate notice to the public regarding its
intention to seek termination of the judgment; and

judgment is consistent with the public interest. See United States v. Western Elec. Co., 993
F.2d 1572, 1577 (D.C. Cir. 1993) (a court “may reject an uncontested modification only if it
has exceptional confidence that adverse antitrust consequences will result”);
It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the said final judgment
is hereby terminated.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion, Doc. 1, and to
close the case.
