`
`
`
`
`
`I. RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e), 37 C.F.R. § 11.116, and as authorized by
`
`the Board in an e-mail dated April 21, 2017, current counsel for Wockhardt Bio AG
`
`respectfully requests authorization to withdraw Christopher M. Gallo as back-up
`
`counsel, and substitute Lestin L. Kenton Jr. as back-up counsel in this proceeding.
`
`
`
`Petitioner has conferred with Patent Owner’s counsel. Patent Owner does not
`
`oppose this motion.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR SUBSTITUTION OF COUNSEL
`
`Christopher M. Gallo is no longer affiliated with Sterne Kessler Goldstein &
`
`Fox PLLC. Petitioner’s substitute back up counsel, Mr. Kenton (Reg. No. 72,314),
`
`meets the requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c) as a registered practitioner. Counsel
`
`for Petitioner complies with all provisions of 37 C.F.R. § 11.116. Withdrawal of Mr.
`
`Gallo can be accomplished without material adverse effect on the interests of
`
`Petitioner. Lead counsel and remaining backup counsel for Petitioner have not
`
`changed. See 37 C.F.R. § 11.116.
`
`It is believed that granting this Motion will not hinder the economy, the
`
`integrity of the patent system, the efficient administration of the Office, or the ability
`
`of the Office to timely complete this proceeding. See 35 U.S.C. § 316(b).
`
`
`
`Updated Mandatory Notices Under 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(3) and (b)(4) have
`
`Respectfully submitted,
