This morning the Federal Circuit released one nonprecedential opinion and three nonprecedential orders. The nonprecedential opinion comes in a patent case. Two of the nonprecedential orders transfer cases, while the third nonprecedential order is a dismissal. Here are the introductions to the opinion and the orders other than the dismissal, which we link.
Angel Technologies Group, LLC v. Meta Platforms, Inc. (Nonprecedential)
Angel Technologies Group, LLC (“Angel”) sued Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly Facebook, Inc.), and Instagram, LLC (collectively, “Meta”) for infringement of certain patent claims relating to digitally tagging images. The United States District Court for the Central District of California granted Meta’s motion to dismiss, concluding that the asserted patents do not claim patent-eligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Angel Techs. Grp. LLC v. Facebook Inc., No. 21-cv-8459, 2022 WL 3093232 (C.D. Cal. June 30, 2022) (“Decision”). Also before this court is Meta’s unopposed motion to partially dismiss the appeal for mootness. ECF No. 58. For the reasons below, we dismiss-in-part the appeal and affirm-in-part the district court’s judgment.
Nehemia v. Office of Personnel Management (Nonprecedential Order)
In response to this court’s July 2, 2024 order directing the parties to address this court’s jurisdiction, Quito I.

matter and all case filings are transferred to the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
