`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e), Petitioner respectfully requests that Blair
`
`A. Silver be withdrawn as back-up counsel for Petitioner in the above-captioned
`
`inter partes review. Authorization for this motion was given by the Board via e-
`
`mail to the parties on September 27, 2018. Patent Owner does not object to this
`
`motion. Mr. Silver is currently back-up counsel for Petitioner. He is leaving the
`
`law firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, which currently represents Petitioner.
`
`Petitioner will continue to be represented by Brian M. Buroker from Gibson, Dunn
`
`& Crutcher LLP as lead counsel. If the currently pending pro hac vice motion is
`
`granted, Frank Coté from Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP will serve as Petitioner’s
`
`back-up counsel. Granting this motion will not hinder the economy, the integrity
`
`of the patent system, the efficient administration of the Office, or the ability of the
`
`Office to timely complete this proceeding. See 35 U.S.C. § 316(b).
