SCIELE PHARMA V. LUPIN LTD 2

Appeal from the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware in consolidated case no. 09-CV-0037,
Judge Robert B. Kugler.

ON MOTION

Before LOURIE, PROST, and MOORE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.

ORDER

Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals (Lupin) move
for a stay, pending appeal, of the preliminary injunction
entered by the United States District Court for the Dis-
trict of Delaware. Sciele Pharma Inc. et a1. oppose.

In deciding whether to grant a stay, pending appeal,
this court "assesses the movant's chances of success on the
merits and weighs the equities as they affect the parties
and the public." E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. 0. Phillips
Petroleum Co., 835 F.2d 277, 278 (Fed. Cir. 1987). See also
Standard Havens Prods. v. Gencor Indus, 897 F.2d 511
(Fed. Cir. 1990). To prevail, a movant must establish a
strong likelihood of success on the merits or, failing that,
must demonstrate that it has a substantial case on the

merits and the harm factors militate in its favor. Hilton v.
Braunskill, 481 US. 770, 778 (1987).

Upon consideration thereof,
IT Is ORDERED THAT:

The motion is granted.
