In re Gerdes GmbH
Opinion of the Court
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
ORDER
Gerdes GmbH of Kerpensindorf, Germany et al. (Gerdes) petitions for rehearing of this court’s December 1, 2005 order denying its petition for a writ of mandamus to direct the International Trade Commission to resume and complete an investigation. Stant Manufacturing, Inc. and the International Trade Commission oppose.
In our previous order, we denied mandamus on the ground that Gerdes had not raised the arguments below that it raised on mandamus. In its petition for rehearing, Gerdes asserts that it did raise the issues, albeit tersely, at the ITC. Thus, we vacate our previous order and address the mandamus petition on the merits.
Concerning the petition for a writ of mandamus, Stant moved at the ITC to withdraw its complaint and terminate the investigation. The ITC granted the motions. Gerdes asserts that the ITC could
Thus, we grant the petition for rehearing to the limited extent that we vacate the previous order. We deny the petition for a writ of mandamus on the ground that Gerdes has not shown that its right to issuance of the writ is “clear and indisputable,” Allied Chemical Corp. v. Daiflon, Inc., 449 U.S. 33, 35, 101 S.Ct. 188, 66 L.Ed.2d 193 (1980).
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) Gerdes’s petition for rehearing is granted to the limited extent that the December 1, 2005 order is vacated.
(2) The petition for a writ of mandamus is denied.
