PER CURIAM:
The National Labor Relations Board (“Board”) brings
this action to enforce a Board order against McElroy Coal
Company. The Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) concluded McElroy
violated Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act
(“the Act”), 29 U.S.C. § 158(a)(1) (2006). The Board, by a two
member group, affirmed the ALJ’s factual determinations and
legal conclusions that McElroy violated Section 8(a)(1) of the
Act.
In its previous 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 petition
for review, vacated the Board’s order, and remanded to the Board
for further proceedings. McElroy Coal Co. v. NLRB, 392 F. App’x
137 (4th Cir. 2010) (Nos. 09-1332, 09-1427).
On remand, the Board, by a three-member panel,
concluded that McElroy violated Section 8(a)(1) of the Act.
Because substantial evidence supports the Board’s conclusion, we
grant the petition for enforcement. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
2
presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
