Before PROST, MAYER, and STOLL, Circuit Judges.

O R D E R

The International Trade Commission moves to dismiss Viking Therapeutics, Inc.’s cross-appeal, No. 2025-2162. The Commission states that Ascletis Pharma Inc. et al. (collectively, “Ascletis”) and Jinzi Jason Wu support the motion. The Commission indicates that Viking does not oppose the motion and “agrees that a panel of this Court would properly dismiss Viking’s cross-appeal,” but that Viking purportedly “reserves all rights to challenge the dismissal of the cross-appeal in future proceedings.” ECF No. 21 at 2. Upon consideration thereof, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) The motion to dismiss Appeal No. 2025-2162 is granted. Appeal No. 2025-2162 is deconsolidated and3 dismissed. The revised official captions are reflected in this order. (2) Costs in Appeal No. 2025-2162 are taxed against the appellant. (3) The Clerk of Court shall transmit a copy of this order to the merits panel assigned to Appeal No. 2025-2164.
