(2) The motion for clarification is granted to the
following extent The expedited briefing schedule in 2011-
1399, -1409 is clarified to include the cross-appeal. The
parties must use hand delivery or overnight delivery for
service of all briefs. The appellants' response/reply brief
is due no later than June 30, 2011.1 If Barr Laboratories
and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. et al. are participat-
ing in 2011-1399, -1409, their appellees' brief is due no
later than June 30, 2O11.2 The cross-appellants reply
brief is due within 3 days of service of the appellants'
response/reply brief. The joint appendix is due within 1
day of service of the cross-appellants reply brief Appeals
2011-1399, -1409 will be placed on the next available
calendar after briefing is completed in those cases.
(3) Briefing in 2011-1408 et al. should be calculated
from the date of docketing of 2011-1408.
1 The cross-appellants' recently received opening
brief is deemed submitted for only 2011-1399, -1409.
2 lt is unclear from the various papers submitted by
the parties whether Barr is involved in 2011-1399, -1409
or in 2011-1408 et al. Because Barr appears to be aligned
with Mylan in the district court's judgment of ir1Validity,
the court assumes that Barr is participating as an appel-
lee in 2011-1399, -1409. The court further assumes that
Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuti-
cal lndustries Ltd. are aligned with Barr in 2011-1399, -
1409. H0weVer, the district court's judgment does not
clearly mention Teva by name. lf the court's assumptions
are incorrect, the parties should promptly inform the
comt.
