Late Friday, the Federal Circuit released two nonprecedential orders. One denies both a petition and a motion in an ongoing patent infringement action; another dismisses an appeal. Here is selected text from the denial order and a link to the dismissal.

In re Micron Technology, Inc. (Nonprecedential Order)

Micron Technology, Inc., Micron Semiconductor Products, Inc., and Micron Technology Texas, LLC (collectively, “Micron”) petitions for a writ of mandamus directing the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas to stay this patent infringement action pending final resolution of inter partes review (“IPR”) proceedings involving the asserted patent claims.  Micron also moves to stay the upcoming trial pending this court’s consideration of the petition.  Netlist, Inc. (“Netlist”) opposes.  We deny the petition and the motion.
