      Before MOORE, MAYER, and STOLL, Circuit Judges.

    Dragon Intellectual Property appeals the district
court’s Final Judgments entered pursuant to the parties’
stipulations of noninfringement of claims 1–4, 8, and 10 of
U.S. Patent No. 5,930,444. Our decision today in a relat-
ed case, Dragon Intellectual Property, LLC v. DISH Net-
work LLC et al., Nos. 2016-2468, -2492, affirms the Patent
Trial and Appeal Board’s determination that claims 1–4,
7–10, 13, and 14 of the ’444 patent are invalid. According-
ly, we dismiss this appeal as moot.
                DISMISSED AS MOOT
                          COSTS
   No costs.
