  DAVID TROPP   v. CONAIR CORPORATION                          3
     This appeal of a denial of attorneys’ fees, along with
 the underlying merits appeal, David Tropp v. Conair
 Corp., No. 2011-1583, (“Merits Appeal”), was stayed
 pending this court’s decision in Travel Sentry, Inc. v.
 David Tropp, Nos. 2011-1023, -1367. Shortly after this
 court’s decision in Travel Sentry, the court decided the
 Merits Appeal, vacating and remanding the district
 court’s judgment. Accordingly, vacatur of the district
 court’s denial of attorneys’ fees is also warranted. See
 Raytheon Co. v. Indigo Systems Corp., 688 F.3d 1311,
 1313 n.1 (Fed. Cir. 2012).
       Upon consideration thereof,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:
       (1) The motion to vacate is granted.
       (2) All parties shall bear their own costs.
