See id. at ___, 350 F. Supp. 2d at 1276. On March 16, 2005, Commerce filed itsFinal Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remand ("Remand Results").

ORDERED that the Remand Results filed by Commerce on March 16, 2005, are affirmed in their entirety; and it is further
ORDERED that since all other issues have been decided, this case is dismissed.
