CIVlX-DDI V. HOTELS.COM 2
oppose. Civix replies. Hotels.com files a motion for leave
to file a sur-reply and an accompanying proposed sur-reply,
to respond to new issues raised by Civix’s reply.
Civix asserts that the issues in this case share
similarities with those presented in Akamai and McKesson
with regard to the proper standards for joint infri_ngement.
Civix further argues that the district court relied on the
now-vacated Akamai and McKess0n panel opinions in
granting summary judgment of non-infringement, the
decision from which Civix now appeals, and that the
outcomes of the en banc rehearings consequently may
narrow the issues in this appeal. Hotels.com responds that
the district court’s judgment relied on other grounds and
that Akamai and McKesson have "only potential and
tangential relevance" to this appeal. -~
We note that oral arguments in Akomai and McKesson
will be held on Noven1ber 18, 2011.
Upon consideration thereof
IT lS 0RDERED THATZ
(1) Civix’s motion for a stay is denied.
(2) Hotels.co1n’s motion for leave to file a sur-reply is
denied as moot.
