CIVlX-DDI V. HOTELS.COM 2 oppose. Civix replies. Hotels.com files a motion for leave to file a sur-reply and an accompanying proposed sur-reply, to respond to new issues raised by Civix’s reply. Civix asserts that the issues in this case share similarities with those presented in Akamai and McKesson with regard to the proper standards for joint infri_ngement. Civix further argues that the district court relied on the now-vacated Akamai and McKess0n panel opinions in granting summary judgment of non-infringement, the decision from which Civix now appeals, and that the outcomes of the en banc rehearings consequently may narrow the issues in this appeal. Hotels.com responds that the district court’s judgment relied on other grounds and that Akamai and McKesson have "only potential and tangential relevance" to this appeal. -~ We note that oral arguments in Akomai and McKesson will be held on Noven1ber 18, 2011. Upon consideration thereof IT lS 0RDERED THATZ (1) Civix’s motion for a stay is denied. (2) Hotels.co1n’s motion for leave to file a sur-reply is denied as moot.
