<!-- PageHeader="INNOVATIVE PATENTS v. BRAIN PAD" -->

After missing their initial deadline to file an entry of
appearance, certificate of interest, and docketing state-
ment, this court directed Innovative to file those items by
October 12, 2010. Innovative has still failed to comply
with that directive. Innovative has also failed to file its
initial brief. Failure to comply with the court's rules,
including the requirements for preparing and filing briefs
and other papers may result in dismissal of an appeal for
failure to prosecute. See Julien v. Zeringue, 864 F.2d
1572, 1574 (Fed. Cir. 1989).

Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
The motion to dismiss is granted.
