The judgments also contain various reporting and record-keeping provisions that would assist the FTC in monitoring the defendants' compliance. The Commission vote to approve these consent judgments for filing in court was 5-0. They were filed July 23 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, in Seattle. The FTC's Seattle Regional Office handled this case with assistance from the Washington state Department of Licensing and the Alaska state Department of Labor, Employment Securities Division. These consent judgments are for settlement purposes only and do not constitute admissions by the defendants of law violations.
Consent judgments have the force of law when signed by the judge.
