`ORDER
`Conduct of Proceeding
`37 C.F.R. § 42.5
`
`On August 13, 2015, a conference call was held between counsel for
`Petitioner and Patent Owner, as well as Judges Scheiner and Kim. On
`August 12, 2015, Patent Owner filed a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel for
`Patent Owner Under 37 C.F.R. § 11.116(b). Paper 16; “Motion”.
`
`
`
`CBM2014-00067
`Patent 8,396,808 B2
`
`Specifically, the Motion requested withdrawal of Mr. Sean Goodwin from
`the proceeding as counsel for Patent Owner. The Motion was filed without
`prior Board authorization. Moreover, the Motion did not address the impact
`of the requested withdrawal on Patent Owner in light of the requirements of
`37 C.F.R. § 42.10.
`During the call, Mr. Goodwin requested authorization to file a motion
`to withdraw based on several financial, personal, and strategic hardships
`imposed by his current representation of Patent Owner. Neither party
`objected to this request. On these representations, the Board informed Mr.
`Goodwin that while the Motion would be expunged, that Mr. Goodwin was
`authorized to file another motion for withdrawal. In the motion, Mr.
`Goodwin must show why his current situation constitutes good cause
`sufficient for the Board to exercise its discretion under 37 C.F.R. § 42.5 to
`waive Patent Owner’s compliance with several requirements of 37 C.F.R.
`§ 42.10, in particular subparts (a) and (c).
`IT IS ORDERED that Paper 16 is expunged; and
`IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Goodwin is authorized to file a
`motion to withdraw as counsel, limited to three pages, by August 18, 2015.
