Wilco Marsh Buggies and Draglines, Inc. v. Weeks Marine, Inc. The Federal Circuit dismissed the appeal pursuant to the parties' joint stipulation under FRAP 42(b), with each party bearing its own costs. The court declined to characterize the dismissal as with or without prejudice, consistent with its general practice. Routine voluntary dismissal with no substantive ruling; the court's footnote reaffirms its standard practice of not designating appeal dismissals as with or without prejudice absent a specific basis to do so.
