ORDER

Defendants AT&T Services, Inc.; AT&T Mobility, LLC; AT&T Corp.; and AT&T Enterprises, LLC (“AT&T”) previously filed a “Motion for Summary Judgment No. 2: of Non-. Infringement of US Patent No. 8,589,541” (Dkt. No. 125.) Magistrate Judge Payne entered a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 254), recommending denial of AT&T’s “Motion for Summary Judgment No. 2: of Non-Infringement of US Patent No. 8,589,541.” Because no objections have been filed and because of the reasons set forth in the Report and Recommendation, the Recommendation is ADOPTED. It is therefore ORDERED that the “Motion for Summary Judgment No. 2: of Non-Infringement of US Patent No. 8,589,541” (Dkt. No. 125) is DENIED.

So ORDERED and SIGNED this 28th day of October, 2025.
