NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, Petitioner, v. MAYS PRINTING CO., Respondent, 452 F. App'x 593

JUDGMENT The National Labor Relations Board (the “Board”) applies for

summary enforcement of its May 29, 2009 decision and order in Case No. 7-CA-51544 in which it found the respondent violated federal labor law and directed the respondent to take certain remedial steps stated therein. The respondent failed to file a timely answer to the unfair labor practices charges and the Board entered a default judgment against it. The respondent failed to file a timely answer to the application for

summary enforcement. Under these circumstances, we conclude the Board is entitled to the relief sought. See NLRB v. Tri-State Warehouse & Distrib., Inc., 677 F.2d 31 (6th Cir.1982) (order) (in the absence of extraordinary circumstances, a Board decision and order is entitled to

summary enforcement if no objections are filed with the Board); NLRB v. Innkeepers of Ohio, Inc., 596 F.2d 177 (6th Cir.1979) (order). It therefore is ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the Board’s May 29, 2009 decision and order in Case No. 7-CA-51544 is hereby enforced. The respondent, Mays Printing Co., its officers, agents, successors and assigns, shall abide by and perform the directions of the Board set forth in such order. (See Attached Order and Appendix.) The mandate shall issue forthwith. ORDER Mays Printing Company, Inc., Detroit, Michigan, its officers, agents, successors, and assigns, shall 1. Cease and desist from (
