`Mr. Hill will be permitted to appear pro hac vice in these cases as back-up
`
`counsel only. See 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c).
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`
`ORDERED that Petitioner’s motions for pro hac vice admission of
`
`Mr. Steven G. Hill are granted, and Mr. Hill is authorized to represent
`
`Petitioner as back-up counsel in these cases;
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner continue to have a registered
`
`practitioner as lead counsel in these cases;
