`case.1
`
`The request to withdraw as counsel is in compliance
`
`with the requirements of Trademark Rule 2.19(b) and Patent

`represents applicant in this proceeding.
`
`In view of the withdrawal of applicant's counsel, and
`
`in accordance with standard Board practice, proceedings
`
`herein are suspended, and applicant is allowed until THIRTY
`
`DAYS from the mailing date of this order to appoint new
`
`counsel, or to file a paper stating that applicant chooses
`
`to represent itself.
`
`If applicant files no response, the
`
`Board may issue an order to show cause why default judgment
`
`
`1 A copy of said request has been placed in both the opposition
`file and the application file.

`
`
`should not be entered against applicant based on applicant's
`
`apparent loss of interest in the case.

`
`the appropriate time.
`
`A copy of this order has been sent to all persons
