On January 17, 2025, the Commission issued an order vacating the directions for review and dismissing the proceeding. The Commission “conclude[d] that [American Tripoli] fabricated cases in its filings to the Commission,” noting that American Tripoli “offer[ed] no explanation for [its] failure to timely respond to the Commission’s November Order,” did not “provide[] copies of the cases upon which it purportedly relied,” and failed to attach the supplemental caselaw it claimed to rely on in its January 9 response.
