ON BRIEF

Before CAROFF, GARRIS, and NAGUMO, Administrative Patent Judges.
CAROFF, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the examiner’s final
rejection of claims 1-7. Claims 8-34 stand withdrawn from
consideration by the examiner, pursuant to the provisions of
37 CFR § 1.142(b), as being drawn to non-elected inventions (see
Paper Nos. 4 and 8). Appellant’s protestations to the contrary
notwithstanding, this action by the examiner is a petitionable
matter rather than being a matter for consideration on appeal.
Accordingly, claims 8-34 are not before us for consideration.
