`ORDER
`Granting Patent Owner’s Unopposed Motion to
`Withdraw Counsel
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e)
`
`
`
`On August 2, 2016, pursuant to our authorization, Patent Owner filed
`
`a motion to withdraw Steven B. Kelber as backup counsel for the Patent
`
`Owner in these proceedings. Paper 51.2 Patent Owner argues that the
`
`motion is unopposed and that withdrawal can be accomplished without
`
`material adverse effect because competent replacement counsel was
`
`designated as Lead Counsel on August 1, 2016, in Patent Owner’s Updated
`
`Mandatory Notices. Id. at 2 (citing Paper 50).
`
`Given the circumstances of these proceedings, we grant Patent
`
`Owner’s motion.
`
`
`
`
`
`Accordingly, it is:
`
`ORDER
`
` ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Unopposed Motion for Counsel to
`
`Withdraw is granted.
