After doing everything as above, with the cursor in paragraph 3, use 
Insert > Custom Item to open a custom item inset. Leave the inset empty. 
I would put it at the start of the paragraph (just after the bullet 
inserted by LyX) for neatness, but I don't think it actually matters 
where in the paragraph you put it. The undesired bullet will still 
appear in the LyX GUI, but when you view the document it should be gone.
