IN THE MATTER OF DETROIT AUTO DEALERS ASSOCIATION, INC., ET AL. Docket 9189. Interlocutory Order Sept. 28, 1993 ORDER Counsel for the Ford Motor and Volkswagen respondents have moved that the complaint against three respondents be dismissed and their names be removed from the order of February 22, 1989. The assets of Sterling Motors, Inc. were sold, and the dealership franchise was terminated. The sale was to an unrelated buyer, and the sellers retained no interest in the dealership or assets.

The Toyota assets and Toyota franchise, however, were sold to Audette Toyota. Complaint counsel do not oppose the motion.

Accordingly, It is ordered, That the complaint against Mr. Hickey and Sterling Motors, Inc. be and hereby is dismissed. It is further ordered, That the order of February 22, 1989, of the Commission be and hereby is modified to delete their names. It is further ordered, That respondent McAlister Motors, Inc. be and hereby is directed to file further information concerning whether Audette Toyota is a successor or assign within the meaning of the definition of a “Dealership and Individual Respondent" in the order of February 22, 1989.
