APPEAL DISMISSED
ON MOTION
PLAGER, Circuit Judge.

ORDER

1
In response to the court's directive, the parties submit letters regarding whether Surgical Laser Technologies, Inc.'s (SLT) appeal is from a final, appealable order.

2
Both parties concede that the order appealed is from a ruling on a motion for partial summary judgment, and that the district court did not enter judgment pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b).*  Hence, SLT's appeal is premature and must be dismissed.

3
Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

4
(1) The court, sua sponte, dismisses SLT's appeal.

5
(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.

*
 SLT states that it has now asked for entry of judgment under R. 54(b)
