`
`
`
`exhibit”). Paper 4, iii; Ex. 1006.1 On August 22, 2014, Petitioner contacted
`
`
`
`the Board, seeking authorization to file a motion to expunge the Hilmert
`
`memorandum exhibit from the record in each of the proceedings, as the

`Petitioner no longer seeks to rely on the exhibit. The Patent Owner opposes
`
`the removal of the Hilmert memorandum exhibit from the record.
`
`Upon consideration of the record,
`
`It is
`
`ORDERED that Petitioner is authorized to file, no later than August
`
`25, 2014, a motion to expunge the Hilmert memorandum exhibit from the
`
`record in each of the proceedings, limited to three pages; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file, later
`
`than August 28, 2014, an opposition to the motion to expunge, limited to
`
`three pages.
