II. Discussion

It is reasonable to dismiss respondents from this investigation. Respondents were named, because Starving Students stated respondents had a current ownership interest. The declarations submitted and CSD's further investigation establish that the 16 2/3% option is only a future interest for Elizabeth and Abigail Margalith; Sanford Margalith relinquished his option rights. Respondents do not have a current ownership interest, and the stipulations entered into between CSD and respondents ensure any future interest will be strictly limited.

The stipulations permit Elizabeth and Abigail Margalith to exercise their stock options but curtail any future interest of respondents in Starving Students. By stipulation respondent Abigail Margalith cannot enter into any business arrangement with Starving Students or purchase any of its assets. The conditions included in the stipulation affirm that the household goods carrier violations raised in this investigation do not and will not in the future apply to respondents. Because the stipulations resolve all outstanding issues with respect to respondents, it is reasonable to dismiss them from this proceeding. Starving Students and Ethan Margalith remain as respondents.

Respondents' names should be removed from the caption of this proceeding upon the effective date of this decision or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Future rulings or decisions accurately will reflect the scope of this

investigation and will avoid any confusion or business disadvantage as to its scope. To completely expunge respondents' names from the OII, both its caption and references on pages 2 and 16, would require closing this investigation and reissuing the OII. That procedure would be administratively inefficient. It also appears unnecessary since the harm (if any) that has occurred is in the past. We decline to order that our Press Office issue a specific press release. Our Press Office routinely reviews all of our decisions and determines whether releases are warranted.

This is an uncontested matter in which the decision grants the substance of the relief requested. Accordingly, pursuant to Pub. Util. Code § 311(g)(2), the otherwise applicable 30-day period for public review and comment is being waived.
