`
`
`
`No. 1:21-cv-20148
`
`
`ORDER
`
`
`
`THIS MATTER comes before the Court on Plaintiff Beteiro, LLC’s (“Plaintiff”) Motion
`
`for Reconsideration, (ECF No. 28), regarding this Court’s Order granting Defendant DraftKings,
`
`Inc.’s (“Defendant”) Motion to Dismiss, (ECF No. 25); and
`
`
`
`WHEREAS, as explained in that Order, this Court granted Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss
`
`because it found the patents underlying Plaintiff’s patent infringement claims were directed toward
`
`unpatentable subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101, (ECF No. 25); and
`
`
`
`WHEREAS, this Court had jurisdiction to consider Plaintiff’s claims and issue its Order
`
`under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a); but
`
`
`
`WHEREAS, on September 22, 2022, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal of that Order, (ECF
`
`No. 26); and
`
`
`
`WHEREAS, “jurisdiction that is originally and properly vested in the district court
`
`becomes vested in the court of appeals when a notice of appeal is filed,” Hudson United Bank v.
`
`Litenda Mortg. Corp., 142 F.3d 151, 158 (3d Cir. 1998); see also Gilda Indus., Inc. v. United
`
`States, 511 F.3d 1348, 1350 (Fed. Cir. 2008); and
`
`
`
`Case 1:21-cv-20148-CPO-SAK Document 31 Filed 11/02/22 Page 2 of 2 PageID: 458
`
`
`
`WHEREAS, a “timely filing of a notice of appeal is an event of jurisdictional significance,
`
`immediately conferring jurisdiction on a Court of Appeals and divesting a district court of its
`
`control over those aspects of the case involved in the appeal,” e.g., Venen v. Sweet, 758 F.2d 117,
`
`120 (3d Cir. 1985) (emphasis added); Griggs v. Provident Consumer Disc. Co., 459 U.S. 56, 58
`
`(1982); and
`
`
`
`WHEREAS, because Plaintiff has already filed a Notice of Appeal in this case, (ECF No.
`
`26), this Court lacks jurisdiction to consider its later-filed Motion for Reconsideration, (ECF No.
`
`28); and therefore
`
`
`
`
`
`IT IS HEREBY on this 2nd day of November , 2022,
`
`ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration, (ECF No. 28), is DENIED
`
`WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
