Heading: Uncontested Findings

Text: The Board first contends that before this Court, the Company has only contested the following portions of the its order: that it produce the number of baskets backhauled by Worldwide drivers (paragraph two), that the Company produce its contract with Worldwide (paragraph five), and that, it produce the costs associated with that contract (paragraph three). Therefore, the Board seeks summary enforcement of the two findings that the Company has not challenged on appeal: that the Company unreasonably delayed providing Worldwide's contact information (paragraph one), and that it must produce the total number of miles driven by Worldwide drivers (paragraph four). Case law has established that when an employer does not challenge a finding of the Board, the unchallenged issue is waived on appeal, entitling the Board to summary enforcement. See NLRB v. Brookshire Grocery Co., 919 F.2d 359, 363 n. 2 (5th Cir.1990); Montgomery Ward & Co. v. NLRB, 385 F.2d 760, 765 (8th Cir. 1967). Similarly, the Sixth Circuit has explained that [a]n employer's failure to address or take issue with the Board's findings and conclusions with regard to . . . violations [of the Act] effectively results in abandonment of the right to object to those determinations. NLRB v. Talsol Corp., 155 F.3d 785, 793 (6th Cir.1998). Here, the Company has never, in its briefs or during oral argument, taken issue with the Board's findings regarding paragraphs one and four. Since the Company has wholly failed to contest these findings, the Board is entitled to summary enforcement. See id. at 794.
