             Defendant,                              §

                                               ORDER

          On this day the Court considered the above-styled and numbered cause. The Court

previously stayed this action pending resolution of ex parte reexaminations in all five of the

asserted patents in this case. See Dkt. No. 59.

          In light of the stay, and for administrative purposes only, the Clerk of Court is directed to

ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE this case.1 This administrative closure is not a dismissal or final

adjudication and does not affect the stayed status of this action.

          All provisions of the Court’s prior stay order remain in full force and effect, including the

requirements that the parties file a joint notice updating the Court as to the status of

the ex parte reexaminations every ninety (90) days, within fourteen (14) days of the conclusion of

any of the ex parte reexaminations, and a motion requesting a status conference within thirty (30)

days of a final disposition in the last ex parte reexamination.

          It is so ORDERED.

frequently make use of this device to remove from their pending cases suits which are temporarily
active elsewhere (such as before an arbitration panel) or stayed (such as where a bankruptcy is
pending). The effect of an administrative closure is no different from a simple stay. . . .”).
