      Before DYK, REYNA, and CHEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
                        ORDER
    The parties each petition for permission to appeal from
an order of the United States District Court for the North-
ern District of California concerning the sufficiency of the
pleadings under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8(a) and
Case: 22-134    Document: 13     Page: 2    Filed: 05/11/2022

2                                  SONOS, INC.   v. GOOGLE LLC

12(b)(6). The district court certified the order for appeal
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b).
    Under the express language of § 1292(b), this court has
“discretion” whether to “permit an appeal to be taken” un-
der the provision. See Digit. Equip. Corp. v. Desktop Direct,
Inc., 511 U.S. 863, 883 n.9 (1994) (noting “broad” discre-
tion). Having considered the matter, we decline to permit
interlocutory review in this case.
    Accordingly,
    IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    The petition and cross-petition for permission to appeal
are denied.
