LAKSHMI ARUNACHALAM,

Plaintiff-Appellant

WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.,

Defendant-Appellee

2020-1492

Appeal from the United States District Court for the

District of Delaware in No. l:13-cv-01812-RGA, Judge

Richard G. Andrews.

ON MOTION

Per Curiam.

ORDER

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. moves to dismiss this appeal

as untimely. Lakshmi Arunachalam opposes the motion.

This appeal stems from a patent infringement suit filed

by Dr. Arunachalam against Wells Fargo. On January 9,

2020, the United States District Court for the District of

Delaware entered an order dismissing the case with

I A*

Case: 20-1492

Document: 15

Page: 2

Filed: 04/16/2020

ARUNACHALAM V. WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.

prejudice, explaining that Dr. Arunachalam “asserts no

valid patent.” The district court received Dr. Arunachalam’s notice of appeal on February 13, 2020, 35 days after

entry of the dismissal order.*

To be timely, a notice of appeal must be filed with the

district court clerk within 30 days after the judgment or

order appealed from is entered. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107(a);

Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). “[T]he timely fifing of a notice of

appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement.”

Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007).

Dr. Arunachalam appears to indicate that her notice of

appeal was filed late due to illness. However, the fifing

deadline is mandatory, and as such, we may only consider

whether the appeal was timely filed at the court. See id.

In other words, we cannot toll the deadline based on Dr.

Arunachalam’s personal circumstances. Because Dr. Arunachalam’s appeal was not filed within the statutory dead

line, we must dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

Accordingly,

It Is Ordered That:

(1) The motion is granted. The appeal is dismissed.

(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.

* Although Dr. Arunachalam’s notice of appeal was

dated February 12, 2020, it was filed at the district court

on February 13, 2020. But even if the district court re

ceived her notice of appeal on February 12, 2020, it would

still be untimely.

Defendant.

ORDER DISMISSING CASE

Whereas, the Court issued an order to show cause why the case should not be dismissed

v*:ii prejudice on November 6, 2019 (D.I. 67);

Whereas, the parties filed various responses (D.I. 71, 73, 74, 75, 76, 79);,i

Whereas, the two patents asserted in the complaint were invalidated in Pi-Net v. J.P.

A rgan, No. 12-282-SLR (D.Del), which judgment has since become final;

Whereas, an additional patent sought to be asserted in an amended complaint was

ii ilidated in PTAB litigation, which judgment has since become final .2

Now, therefore, since Plaintiff asserts no valid patent,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED this

day of January 2020 that the case is DISMISSED

w:‘h prejudice.

s Inventor Rights Act of 2019, cited by Plaintiff, has not been passed, and therefore is not law.

e decision in Arthrex, Inc. v. Smith & Nephew, Inc., 941 F.3d 1320 (Fed. Cir. 2019), has no effect on this case,

because it is too late to raise an Arthrex challenge. See Customedia Techs, LLC v. Dish Network Corp., 941 F.!

1173 (Fed. Cir. 2019) (per curiam) (Arthrex challenge not raised in opening appellate brief is forfeited).
