`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Koninklijke Philips N.V. (“Philips”) filed a Motion to Withdraw
`
`Counsel in the above-listed proceeding. Paper 40 (“Motion” or “Mot.”).
`
`We authorized the Motion in an email dated March 20, 2019. Google LLC
`
`does not oppose the Motion. Mot. 2. For the following reasons, the Motion
`
`is granted.
`
`II.
`
`ANALYSIS
`
`Counsel may withdraw from an inter partes review only with
`
`authorization from the Board. 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e). Philips requests
`
`authorization to withdraw Jason M. Dorsky as back-up counsel. Mot. 2.
`
`Philips represents that lead counsel, Justin J. Oliver, “will continue to
`
`represent Philips in this proceeding, along with Daniel S. Glueck and
`
`Margaret J. Evans.” Id. Philips also filed updated mandatory notices
`
`identifying its new back-up counsel. Paper 39, 1. Having reviewed the
`
`Motion, we determine that good cause exists for granting the Motion.
`
`III. ORDER
`
`In consideration of the foregoing, it is hereby:
`
`ORDERED that the Motion is granted; and
`
`FURTHER ORDERED that Jason M. Dorsky is withdrawn as counsel
`
`for Philips in the above-listed proceeding.
