`these facts in support of this motion:

`
`
`Eastern District of Texas, and the United States Court of Appeals for the

`Ninth Circuit. Id. Mr. Zweig has 1 ½ years of experience in patent
`
`litigation. Id. ¶¶ 1-3. In addition, Mr. Zweig’s familiarity with the subject

`matter at issue in this proceeding is demonstrated by his review of the ’678

`
`inter partes review. Id. ¶ 8.

`
`practice in other courts, and also to each of the required items set forth by 37
