    Appeal from the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, Patent Trial and Appeal Board in No. IPR2016-
01633.
                 ______________________
PER CURIAM.
                       ORDER
    Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Au-
thority (“LA Metro”) petitioned for inter partes review of
claims 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 10 of U.S. Patent No. 6,980,101,
owned by Transport Technologies LLC. The Patent Trial
and Appeal Board (“Board”) held that LA Metro did not
show unpatentability. LA Metro appeals.
    We recently affirmed a decision by the Board holding
the same claims of the same patent unpatentable as invalid
for obviousness. Transp. Techs., LLC v. L.A. Cty. Metro.

    (1) Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
        Authority is ordered to show cause why the appeal
        should not be dismissed as moot. The response
        shall be filed no later than seven days after the date
