IN THE MATTER OF TRANS WORLD ACCOUNTS, INC., ET AL.

MODIFYING ORDER IN REGARD TO ALLEGED VIOLATION OF THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ACT Docket 9059. Order, Oct. 25, 1977-Modifying Order, September 2, 980 In accordance with the mandate of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, this order further modifies the Modified Order To Cease and Desist issued on July 25, 1979, 44 FR 49650, 94 F. C. 141, by inserting a new "Paragraph 3" which substitutes the term "lawsuit" for the phrase "legal action" as used in Paragraph 3" of FIC' s October 25, 1979 Order of Remand, 44 FR 66576, 94 I051.

MODIFICATION OF MODIFIED ORDER To CEASE AND DESIST On July 25, 1979, the Commission entered a "Modifed Order To Cease and Desist" in this matter, thereby effectuating those portions of its order of October 25, 1977 that had been affrmed and enforced by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Trans World Accounts FTC. 594 F.2d 212 (9th Cir. 1979). On October 25, 1979, the Commission entered an "Order on Remand", adding a new "Paragraph 3" to its order of July 25, 1979. Respondents appealed this order to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and, thereafter respondents and the Commission entered into a stipulation before the court, which rendered its judgment modifying and enforcing as modified the order under appeal. Because both sides have waived any rights to seek further review of the court's order, it is now appropriate that the order of the Commission be rendered in accordance with the mandate of the court, 15 U. C. 45(i). Therefore, it is ordered, That the Commission s "Modified Order To Cease and Desist" dated July 25, 1979, be further modified by the insertion of Paragraph 3 to read:

3. Misrepresenting directly or by implication, that a lawsuit with respect to an alleged delinquent debt has been or wil be initiated, or misrepresenting in any manner the imminency of a lawsuit.
