O R D E R

In response to the court’s order to show cause in light of Stress Engineering Services, Inc.’s pending counterclaims, Stylwan Ip Holding, LLC; Stylwan, Inc.; and Stylwan IIT, LLC request dismissal of this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. ECF No. 20 at 4.

We agree the court currently lacks jurisdiction because of the absence of a final judgment, see Pandrol USA, LP v.2 2 STYLWAN IP HOLDING, LLC v.

STRESS ENGINEERING SERVICES, INC. Airboss Ry. Prods., Inc., 320 F.3d 1354, 1362 (Fed. Cir. 2003); Pause Tech. LLC v. TiVo Inc., 401 F.3d 1290, 1293 (Fed. Cir. 2005), and dismiss for lack of jurisdiction, subject to reinstatement under the same docket number(s) without the payment of an additional filing fee if, within 60 days of this order, either party appeals from the entry of a final judgment or obtains a certification for appeal pursuant to Rule 54(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) The appeals are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, subject to reinstatement under the same docket number(s) without the payment of an additional filing fee if, within 60 days of this order, either party appeals from the entry of a final judgment or obtains a certification for appeal pursuant to Rule 54(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
