`On March 28, 2018, Petitioner filed a motion for pro hac vice
`admission of Hilary L. Preston (Paper 9), along with her declaration (Exhibit
`1026), and a motion for pro hac vice admission of Rachael P. McClure
`(Paper 10), along with her declaration (Exhibit 1027). The motions are
`unopposed. The motions are granted.
`Upon consideration, Petitioner has demonstrated that Ms. Preston and

`good cause for their admission. Ms. Preston and Ms. McClure will be
`permitted to appear pro hac vice in the proceeding as back-up counsel only.
`See 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c).
`It is
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s motions for pro hac vice admission of
`Hilary L. Preston and Rachael P. McClure are granted;

`authorized to represent Petitioner as back-up counsel only;

`proceeding; and

`comply with the Office Patent Trial Practice Guide and the Board’s Rules of
`Practice for Trials, as set forth in Part 42 of Title 37, Code of Federal
