`ORDER
`Conduct of the Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`
`
`
`1 This order addresses issues that are generally the same in both cases. Therefore,
`we exercise discretion to issue one order to be filed in each of case. The parties,
`however, are not authorized to use this style heading in subsequent papers since
`doing so may cause confusion.
`
`

`IPR2013-00206 and -00208
`Patent 8,251,997 B2
`
`
`The parties filed a joint motion to replace original Exhibit 2038, which is a
`declaration of Barton L. Sachs, with a substitute Exhibit 2038 (IPR2013-00206,
`Paper 47 and IPR2013-00208, Paper 44). The motion indicates that the sole
`change made to the declaration is to strike paragraph 100 from the original
`declaration. Upon consideration of the record, the motion is granted.
`It is
`ORDERED that the joint motion to replace original Exhibit 2038 with
`substitute Exhibit 2038 is granted; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Exhibit 2038 entered December 20, 2013 be
`expunged from the record in IPR2013-00206 and IPR2013-00208.
