   Before DYK, WALLACH, and HUGHES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
                      ORDER
Upon consideration of the above-captioned appeals,
   IT IS ORDERED THAT:
2          ASGHARI-KAMRANI v. UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE

    (1) These appeals (Nos. 2018-1040 and 2018-1041) are
        dismissed as moot, and the decisions of the U.S.
        Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and
        Appeal Board are vacated in view of our affir-
        mance of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
        District of Virginia’s judgment of patent ineligibil-
        ity in Asghari-Kamrani v. United Services Auto-
        mobile Ass’n, Appeal Nos. 2016-2415, 2017-2101,
        and 2017-2191, and the parties’ agreement at oral
        argument that affirmance of the district court’s in-
        eligibility decision has the effect of invalidating all
        claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,266,432.
    (2) No costs.
                                    FOR THE COURT
