                          ORDER
Case: 14-1354         Document: 23    Page: 2      Filed: 07/25/2014

 2                                   JBF RAK LLC   v. US

   The United States moves to summarily affirm. JBF
 RAK LLC opposes.
     The sole issue raised in JBF’s opening brief is wheth-
 er this court’s decision in Union Steel v. United States,
 713 F.3d 1101 (Fed. Cir. 2013), should be overruled.
 Because both parties are in apparent agreement that
 Union Steel controls the outcome of this appeal by a panel
 of this court, we agree that summary affirmance is appro-
 priate. See Joshua v. United States, 17 F.3d 378, 380
 (Fed. Cir. 1994) (Summary affirmance is appropriate
 where affirmance “is so clearly correct as a matter of law
 that no substantial question regarding the outcome of the
 appeal exists.”).
       Accordingly,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:
     (1) The motion is granted. The judgment of the Court
 of International Trade is affirmed.
       (2) Each party shall bear its own costs.
