                    ______________________

     Appeal from the United States District Court for the
 District of Columbia in No. 1:12-cv-00272-BAH, Judge
 Beryl A. Howell.
                  ______________________

                        ON MOTION
                    ______________________

                           ORDER
         The parties jointly move to dismiss this appeal.
 Mount Sinai School of Medicine notifies the court that it
 will not be participating in the appeal and requests that
 its designation as an appellee be stricken from the official
 caption because the claims against it were voluntarily
 dismissed in the district court.
       Upon consideration thereof,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    (1) The motion to dismiss this appeal is granted. The
 appeal is dismissed.
       (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
      (3) Pursuant to Mount Sinai’s notice, the revised offi-
 cial caption is reflected above.
                                       FOR THE COURT
