In THE MATTER OF SOUNDTRACK CHEVELL INDUSTRIES, INC., ET AL. DISMISSAL ORDER, OPINION, ETC., IN REGARD TO ALLEGED VIOLATION OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ACT Docket 8998. Complaint, Nov. 5, 1974 — Order, Dec. 17, 1976 Order dismissing complaint issued against two individual respondents, Lonnie and Gene Temple, in a case involving alleged deceptive acts and practices in the talent promotion business. The complaint was dismissed for lack of public interest.
Appearances For the Commission: John J. Hemrick and Jim B. Brookshire. For the respondents: Jerry L. Buchmeyer and Schuyler B. Marshall, Thompson, Knight, Simmons & Bullion, Dallas, Texas. ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAINT This matter is before the Commission on the certification by the administrative law judge of a request by respondent Gene Temple that counsel be appointed to represent him in this matter. This request comes after completion of complaint counsel’s case-in-chief, a similar request filed shortly before the hearing began having been denied as untimely. The administrative law judge recommends that the renewed request be granted.
Upon review of the present papers and those submitted on the numerous prior occasions since issuance of the complaint that this case had been before us, we are of the view that continuation of these proceedings would not be in the public interest. Accordingly, on our own motion, we direct that the complaint be dismissed as against the two remaining respondents, Lonnie and Gene Temple. Commissioner Dole dissenting.
DISSENTING STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER DOLE I dissent from the dismissial of the complaint. I believe that further proceedings are in the public interest for the reasons indicated in the Commission’s Order Denying Motions to Dismiss the Complaint as to Lonnie Temple and Gene Temple, May 11, 1976 [87 F.T.C. 1249}. Instead of dismissing the complaint, I would have granted respondent Gene Temple’s request for appointed counsel. Complaint 88 F.T.C.
