CAFC Strikes Company's Entry of Appearance in AD Suit on Aluminum Wire, Cable

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on June 27 struck an entry of appearance filed by counsel for Encore Wire Corp., terminating the company as a defendant in a case on the 2019-20 antidumping review of aluminum wire and cable. The court said that the entry of appearance for three Cassidy Levy attorneys -- Myles Getlan, James Ransdell and Chase Dunn -- was noncompliant and that the attorneys failed to file a corrected version of the entry (Repwire v. U.S., Fed. Cir. # 23-1933).

Importer Repwire and exporter Jin Tiong Electrical Materials Manufacturer appealed to contest the finding that Jin Tiong wasn't eligible for a separate AD rate in the review because it had not submitted a separate rate application, even though a separate rate questionnaire was accidentally sent to it (see 2401290019).

After Encore Wire submitted its entry of appearance, the Federal Circuit said the entry was filed "on behalf of a party that is not participating in the appeal, has no appellate designation, or is otherwise not included on the official caption."
