(SDC) involving organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panels. The investigation found no violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, ruling that SDC did not demonstrate sufficient domestic industry ties required to support its claims, among other deficiencies. The investigation, which involved multiple parties and reviewed several patents, is now officially terminated with a finding of no violation.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has revoked the DEA Certificates of Registration for Lona Bibbs-Walker, D.D.S., after finding that her continued registration would pose an imminent danger to public health and safety.

Despite these allegations, Dr. Bibbs-Walker did not request a hearing, leading to the default judgment against her and further supporting the DEA's decision to revoke her registrations. The decision highlights the importance of compliance with state and federal regulations for handling controlled substances.

The DEA notified Craig of his right to a hearing, which he opted not to request, resulting in an automatic admission of the allegations against him. Consequently, any pending applications from Craig to renew or modify his registration have also been denied.

The U.S. Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration took action against Dr. David Bockoff, resulting in the revocation of his license to prescribe controlled substances.

Dr. Bockoff did not successfully challenge these findings or take responsibility, leading to the conclusion that his practices were dangerous to public health.
