`
`With our authorization, Patent Owner filed Motions requesting
`withdrawal of lead counsel, Douglas W. McClellan, and substitution of
`Elizabeth S. Weiswasser for Mr. McClellan as lead counsel in the above-
`identified proceedings (“Motions”). Paper 106.2 Patent Owner represents
`that Petitioner does not oppose the Motions. Motion 1. Patent Owner also
`filed Revised Mandatory Notices stating that Melissa L. Hotze and William
`Sutton Ansley would be backup counsel in the above-identified proceedings.
`Paper 108.3 Ms. Hotze and Mr. Ansley are both registered practitioners. Id.
`at 1.
`
`The Motions are granted.
`
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motions to withdraw Douglas W.
`McClellan as counsel in each of the above-identified proceedings are
`granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Elizabeth S. Weiswasser is recognized as
`lead counsel for Patent Owner in each of the above-identified proceedings,
`effective as of the date of this Order;
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner shall submit, within ten
`(10) business days of the date of this order, a Power of Attorney in each of
`
`2 For purposes of expediency, we cite to Papers filed in IPR2016-00734.
`Similar Motions were filed in IPR2016-01901, IPR2016-01903, and
`IPR2016-01905.
`3 The Revised Mandatory Notices filed in IPR2016-01901 are in fact the
`Revised Mandatory Notices for IPR2016-01903. IPR2016-01901, Paper 93.
`Therefore, Patent Owner should file updated Mandatory Notices in
`IPR2016-01901.
