ORDER

Alexander Litz moves to voluntarily withdraw his ap- peal “without the imposition of cost or attorney fees.” Mot. at 1. Tech Guru, LLC responds and “does not object to [Mr.] Litz’s withdrawal of his appeal, but it disagrees with [Mr.] Litz’s request that such withdrawal occur without the im- position of costs or attorney fees” because it “continues to believe that [Mr.] Litz’s appeal is frivolous and that it has Case: 21-2375 Document: 39 Page: 2 Filed: 09/15/2022 2 LITZ v. TECH GURU, LLC been pursued for purposes of vexatiousness.” ECF No. 38 at 1.

Upon consideration thereof, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

The court has sua sponte determined that the award of attorneys’ fees and costs is not appropriate. Mr. Litz’s mo- tion is granted to the extent the appeal is dismissed with each party to bear its own costs.
