`
`Trials,
`
`I am also presently listed as counsel for Patent Owner, but at my old firm address. I moved my practice to Ropes & Gray
`in August.
`
`I informed Patent Owner that I was unable to proceed, and Patent Owner agreed that I would withdraw as
`counsel. Please confirm that I am also authorized to file the necessary motion. I apologize for the lack of coordination
`on these emails.
`
`Thank You
