`37 C.F.R. §§ 42.5, 42.10(e)

`
`
`Patent Owner moves for the Board to allow David A. Casimir and
`Mary Ann Brow to withdraw as counsel in this proceeding. Paper 6, 2. We
`authorized Patent Owner to file the motion by email on March 20, 2018.
`Patent Owner represents that the motion is unopposed by Petitioner. Id.
`Patent Owner seeks to appoint lead counsel Aaron F. Barkoff and back-up
`counsel Christopher P. Singer, both of McAndrews, Held & Malloy, Ltd. Id.
`Patent Owner intends to update Patent Owner’s Mandatory Notices and a
`Substitute Power of Attorney. Id.
`Counsel may withdraw from an inter partes review proceeding only
`with authorization from the Board. 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(e); see also 37 C.F.R.
`§ 11.116 (regarding conditions for withdrawal). In that regard, “a
`practitioner may withdraw from representing a client if . . . [w]ithdrawal can
`be accomplished without material adverse effect on the interests of the client
`. . . .” 37 C.F.R. § 11.116(b)(1).
`We discern no reason to deny Patent Owner’s motion for counsel to
`withdraw. The change of counsel would not cause any prejudice to Patent
`Owner or unnecessary delays in the proceedings, as Patent Owner does not
`seek an extension of time. Id.
`Upon considering Patent Owner’s unopposed motion, we grant the
`motion.
`Accordingly, it is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motion to Withdraw Counsel is
`granted;
`FURTHER ORDERED that David A. Casimir and Mary Ann Brow
`are withdrawn as counsel for Patent Owner in this proceeding.
