PER CURIAM:

The National Labor Relations Board (“Board”) seeks

enforcement of a Board order against Diversified Enterprise,

Inc. (“Diversified”). The Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”)

concluded that Diversified violated § 8(a)(1) and (3) of the

National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 158(a)(1), (3) (2006).

The Board, by a two-member delegee group, adopted the ALJ’s

recommended order with minor modifications.

In its prior appeal to this court, the Board filed an

unopposed motion to remand the case based on the Supreme Court’s

holding in New Process Steel, L.P. v. NLRB, 130 S. Ct. 2635

(2010), that the Act does not authorize fewer than three members

to form a valid delegee group. We granted the motion and

remanded to the Board for further proceedings.

On remand, the Board, by a three-member panel,

affirmed the ALJ’s findings of fact and conclusions. We

conclude that substantial evidence supports the Board’s

decision. Accordingly, we grant the petition for enforcement.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

conclusions are adequately presented in the materials before the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION GRANTED
