DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS Before: KLEINFELD, NGUYEN, and BADE, Circuit Judges.* We are advised by counsel that this case has settled in state court and the claims against Dr. Khalifa have been dismissed with prejudice, so Dr. Khalifa’s appeal is now moot. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed, and the memorandum disposition filed August 10, 2020, is vacated as to 18-56520 only. Each party shall bear its own costs, unless counsel advises of terms to the contrary in the settlement agreement. The original panel, consisting of Judge Kleinfeld, Judge Nguyen, and Judge Pauley, heard oral argument on March 6, 2020. Judge Pauley died on July 6, 2021, while the case was pending, and Judge Bade was drawn to replace him. * 2
