`ORDER
`

`
`WHEREAS this Court has expressed a preference for following Judge Albright’s claim
`
`construction procedure in this matter (D.I. 36 & 54);
`
`WHEREAS Judge Albright has amended his Standing Order to require the defendants to
`
`submit the initial claim construction brief via Orders dated June 24, 2021, and October 8, 2021
`
`(Exs. A & B);
`
`WHEREAS the parties are proceeding towards submission of the initial claim construction
`
`briefs in this matter and ample time remains for the United States to prepare and file the first brief
`
`(due in mid-January) in accordance with Judge Albright’s revised Standing Order.
