ORDER

This appeal is DISMISSED as moot.

During oral argument, counsel for Strikepoint Trading,
LLC (“StrikePoint”), represented that (1) neither Global Asset
Advisors (“GAA”) nor Sabolyk had violated the permanent
injunction entered by the district court in this case (which
ended in August 2010); (2) Strikepoint would not seek any
damages from either Appellant regarding the permanent
injunction or the trade secrets claims in the case; and (3)
Strikepoint would not seek attorney fees from GAA in this
case and, if seeking attorney fees at all, would only seek them
from Sabolyk as they relate to the jury verdict of $102,300 for
breach of contract.

With such representations by counsel for Strikepoint, coun-
sel for the Appellants agreed the case was moot. A certified
copy of this order shall serve as the mandate of this court.

DISMISSED.
