`
`Micron Technology, Inc., Micron Semiconductor Products, Inc., and
`Micron Technology Texas LLC (“Petitioner”) filed a motion for pro hac
`vice admission of Michael R. Rueckheim in each of the above-listed
`proceedings (“Motions”). Paper 19. 3 Petitioner also filed supporting
`declarations from Mr. Rueckheim. Ex. 1021. Petitioner states that the
`Motions are unopposed. Paper 19, 1.
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.10(c), the Board may recognize counsel
`pro hac vice during a proceeding upon a showing of good cause, subject to
`the condition that lead counsel be a registered practitioner. In its notice
`authorizing motions for pro hac vice admission, the Board requires a
`statement of facts showing there is good cause for the Board to recognize
`counsel pro hac vice, and an affidavit or declaration of the individual
`seeking to appear in this proceeding. See Paper 5, 2 (citing Unified Patents,
`Inc. v. Parallel Iron, LLC, Case IPR2013-00639 (PTAB Oct. 15, 2013)
`(Paper 7) (representative “Order – Authorizing Motion for Pro Hac Vice
`Admission”)).
`We have reviewed the submissions and determine that the
`requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 42.10 have been met and that there is good
`cause to admit Mr. Rueckheim pro hac vice.
`It is, therefore,
`ORDERED that the Motions for Pro Hac Vice Admission of Michael
`R. Rueckheim are granted and Mr. Rueckheim is authorized to represent
`Petitioner only as back-up counsel in the above- listed proceedings;
