ORDER

Defendants-Appellants.

Before: CANBY, CLIFTON, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges.
This court in a published order previously denied a motion of the
government for a stay of a restraining order pending appeal. 847 F.3d
1151 (9th Cir. 2017). That order became moot when this court granted the
government's unopposed motion to dismiss its underlying appeal. Order,
Mar. 8, 2017. No party has moved to vacate the published order. A judge
of this court called for a vote to determine whether the court should grant

en banc reconsideration in order to vacate the published order denying the
stay. The matter failed to receive a majority of the votes of the active
judges in favor of en banc reconsideration. Vacatur of the stay order is
denied. See U.S. Bancorp Mortgage Co. v. Bonner Mall Partnership, 513
U.S. 18, (1994) (holding that the "extraordinary remedy of vacatur" is
ordinarily unjustified when post-decision mootness is caused by voluntary
action of the losing party).
This order is being filed along with the concurrence of Judge
Reinhardt and the dissent of Judge Bybee. Filings by other judges may
follow.
