Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in No. 3:23-cv-00452-AWT, Senior Judge Alvin W. Thompson.

ON MOTION

PER CURIAM.

O R D E R

Because this appeal appeared to fall outside of this court’s jurisdiction, see 28 U.S.C. § 1295, the court directed the parties to show cause. Appellants respond with a “request that the Court dismiss this appeal.” ECF No. 5 at 2.2 2 BUCHER v. ZAIGER LLC

Upon consideration thereof,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) The appeal is dismissed. (2) Each party shall bear its own costs. (3) The mandate shall issue forthwith.
