ORDER

_________________________________

Before KELLY, GORSUCH, and McHUGH, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This matter is before the court on the Petition for Permission to Appeal Pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1453(c) of Petitioner-Defendant Stamps.com Inc. (“Stamps.com”). Plaintiff

Elizabeth Hammond filed a response opposing the petition. 

Upon consideration of the petition, the response, and the applicable law, 

Stamps.com’s petition for permission to appeal is GRANTED.

Stamps.com filed a motion seeking leave to file a reply brief, which included a 

proposed reply brief. Ms. Hammond filed a response opposing leave to file a reply brief. 

We deny the motion to file a reply brief as moot.

In light of our decision to grant the petition, the clerk is directed to open a new 

appeal. The date of this order shall be deemed the date for filing the notice of appeal. Fed. 

R. App. P. 5(d)(2).

The new appeal will proceed on an expedited schedule. 28 U.S.C. § 1453(c). The 

new appeal will be set for oral argument on November 18, 2016, at the Byron White U.S. 

Courthouse in Denver, Colorado. Once the new appeal is opened, the clerk will issue a 

scheduling order with more details about an expedited briefing schedule. Oral argument 

specifics will also be set forth in a separate order. 

Ordinarily, the court would not open a new case until the filing fees for the new 

appeal have been paid to the district court. Fed. R. App. P. 5(d)(3). With our decision to 

expedite proceedings, however, we suspend the delayed period to pay the filing fees and 

open the new case. Id. 2. We direct the petitioner to pay the filing fees for the new appeal 

to the district court on or before October 28, 2016.
