`ORDER
`Petitioner’s Motions for Admission Pro Hac Vice of
`Morgan Chu and Talin Gordnia
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10
`
`
`
`IPR2015-01764
`Patent RE 40,264 E
`
`
`Petitioner filed motions for pro hac vice admission of Mr. Morgan
`Chu (Paper 10) and Ms. Talin Gordnia (Paper 11) on May 9, 2016.
`Petitioner represents that Patent Owner does not oppose the motions. Paper
`10, 3; Paper 11, 3.1 Petitioner’s motion for pro hac vice admission of
`Mr. Chu is granted. For the following reasons, Petitioner’s motion for pro
`hac vice admission of Ms. Gordnia is denied without prejudice.
`In support of its motion for pro hac vice admission of Ms. Gordnia,
`Petitioner relies on the Declaration of Talin Gordnia (Exhibit 1014). Paper
`11, 1. The document filed as Exhibit 1014 is not the Declaration of Talin
`Gordnia, however, but instead is a copy of Petitioner’s motion. See Exhibit
`1014. Consequently, Petitioner’s motion was not accompanied by an
`affidavit or declaration of Ms. Gordnia, as required by the Notice
`authorizing motions for pro hac vice admission. See Paper 3, 2 (citing
`Order—Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice Admission in Case IPR2013-
`00639, Paper 7 (“A motion for pro hac vice admission must . . . [b]e
`accompanied by an affidavit or declaration of the individual seeking to
`appear . . . .”)). Petitioner is authorized to file, if it wishes, a revised motion
`for pro hac vice admission of Ms. Gordnia, accompanied by the required
`declaration.
`
`
`1 Petitioner states that “Petitioner has confirmed with Patent Owner that
`Petitioner does not oppose the present motion.” Paper 10, 3 (emphasis
`added); see also Paper 11, 3 (same). We recognize that this is a
`typographical error, and that it is Patent Owner that does not oppose
`Petitioner’s motion.
