`
`
`
`We have reviewed the Motion and supporting Declaration of Steven

`
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Hill is authorized to represent
`
`Petitioner only as back-up counsel in the instant proceeding;
`
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Petitioner is to continue to have a
`
`registered practitioner represent it as lead counsel for the instant proceeding;
`
`
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Mr. Hill shall comply with the Office

`
`set forth in Part 42 of the C.F.R.; and
`
