`
`
`On October 27, 2014, Patent Owner requested authorization to file a Motion
`
`for Counsel to Withdraw and Permit Substitution of Counsel. On October 30,
`
`2014, a conference call was held between counsel for the respective parties and
`
`Judges Deshpande, Ward, and Gerstenblith. Counsel requesting authorization to
`
`withdraw, Mr. Edward F. Behm Jr., and counsel identified for substitution,
`
`Mr. William A. Meunier and Mr. Matthew D. Durell, indicated they understood
`
`that granting the Motion will not impact the current schedule and that Patent
`
`Owner’s Preliminary Response is due December 9, 2014. Mr. Edward F. Behm Jr.
`
`will serve as counsel until the Motion is granted. Patent Owner also must file a
`
`new power of attorney and updated mandatory notices designating new lead and
`
`backup counsel.
`
`
`
`It is, therefore,
`
`ORDER
`
`ORDERED that Patent Owner is authorized to file a Motion for Counsel to
`
`Withdraw and Permit Substitution of Counsel.
