`I. DISCUSSION
`
`Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) has filed authorized motions to withdraw its
`current back-up counsel, Mr. Steven W. Peters, in each of the above-
`identified proceedings (collectively “Motions”). Paper 47.2 Mr. Peters is no
`longer associated with the law firm Sterne Kessler Goldstein & Fox,
`P.L.L.C. (Customer No. 26111), to whom Petitioner granted power of
`attorney. Paper 47, 1. The Motions indicate that Patent Owner does not
`oppose the Motions. Id. The Motions also indicate that lead counsel
`Michael D. Spect (Registration No. 54,463) and back-up counsel
`Tyler J. Dutton (Registration No. 75,069) will remain Petitioner’s
`representatives going forward in these proceedings. Id.
`We understand that Petitioner will file updated Mandatory Notices
`removing Mr. Peters as back-up counsel. Id.
`On the basis of the foregoing, the Motions are granted.
`
`
`II. ORDER
`
`It is therefore,
`ORDERED that Mr. Steven W. Peters is no longer recognized as
`counsel for Petitioner in these proceedings.
`
`
`
`2 For the purposes of expediency, we cite to the Motion filed in
`IPR2016-01839. Similar Motions were filed in IPR2016-01842 (Paper 36),
`IPR2016-01860 (Paper 36), IPR2016-01863 (Paper 36), and IPR2016-01864
`(Paper 39).
