`DECISION

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2015-00529
`Patent 8,846,112 B2
`
`
`
`Petitioner filed a motion for pro hac vice admission of Michael J.
`
`Abernathy. Paper 16. The motion is supported by a declaration of Mr. Abernathy,
`
`which was attached to the motion.1 By email correspondence dated October 6,
`
`2015, counsel for Petitioner states that Patent Owner does not oppose this motion.
`
`The Board has reviewed the submissions and determined that the
`
`requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10 have been met and there is good cause to admit
`
`Mr. Abernathy pro hac vice.
`
`
`
`It is, therefore,
`
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s motion for admission of Michael J. Abernathy
`
`pro hac vice is granted.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1 We note that while we will accept the Declaration in this instance, the Declaration
`should be filed as a separate exhibit with its own exhibit number. 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.63(a).
