`____________
`
`
`Before SCOTT A. DANIELS, NEIL T. POWELL, and

`POWELL, Administrative Patent Judge.

`
`
`
`DECISION
`Motion to Withdraw
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e)
`
`Pursuant to our authorization, on September 23, 2016, Patent Owner
`
`filed a motion to withdraw Brian R. Pollack as counsel in this proceeding.
`
`Paper 22 (“Mot.”). No opposition has been filed, and Patent Owner
`
`indicates that Petitioner does not oppose the Motion. Mot. 1.
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01187
`Patent 8,894,066 B2
`
`
`
`
`
`Patent Owner asserts that Mr. Pollack is moving and will not be
`
`further representing Patent Owner. Id. Noting that the appearance of
`
`Andrew M. Riddles has already been noticed in this proceeding, Patent
`
`Owner also states that Mr. Riddles will become new lead counsel if we grant
`
`the Motion. Id. On these circumstances, we are persuaded that the Mr.
`
`Pollack’s withdrawal is warranted, provided that Patent Owner appoints new
`
`lead counsel as indicated.
`
`
`
`It is therefore
`
`
`
`
`
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion is granted; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that withdrawal of Brian R. Pollack is
`
`
`
`
`
`authorized.
