    2                                            LASHIFY, INC.   v. ITC
    Before LOURIE, TARANTO, and HUGHES, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM.
    ORDER
    Appellee International Trade Commission moves to
    dismiss Appeal No. 2022-1566 as premature. ECF No. 21.
    Lashify, Inc. opposes dismissal and requests instead that
    the appeal be held in abeyance. ECF No. 26.
    Lashify filed a notice of appeal seeking review of the
    Commission’s decision not to review certain non-infringe-
    ment findings regarding 
    U.S. Patent No. 10,721,984
    . ECF
    No. 1-2 at 2. But even Lashify’s notice characterized the
    Commission’s decision as not “final” for purposes of judicial
    review under Tessera, Inc. v. ITC, 
    646 F.3d 1357
    , 1367–69
    (Fed. Cir. 2011) (citing 
    19 U.S.C. § 1337
    (c)), based on the
    Commission’s pending consideration of certain other issues
    in the investigation. ECF No. 1-2 at 4. We agree with the
    parties that, under the circumstances of this case, we lack
    jurisdiction over Lashify’s appeal because there has been
    no final determination. Having considered the parties’ ar-
    guments, the court determines that dismissal (rather than
    a stay) is appropriate in this case, see, e.g., A & J Mfg., LLC
    v. ITC, 584 F. App’x 933 (Fed. Cir. 2014), but the court will
    allow Lashify to reinstate its appeal if, within 60 days of
    the entry of this order, it appeals from a final determina-
    tion.
    Accordingly,
    IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    Case: 22-1566        Document: 30   Page: 3    Filed: 06/01/2022
    LASHIFY, INC.   v. ITC                                       3
    (1) The appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, sub-
    ject, however, to reinstatement under the same docket
    number without payment of any additional filing fee if,
    within 60 days of the entry of this order, Lashify appeals
    from the entry of a final determination. The mandate shall
    issue simultaneously with this order.
    (2) Each party shall bear its own costs.
