MCQUADE, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
Scott M. Sharp originally took this appeal from the final
rejection of claims 1 through 3, 6, 7 and 15 through 28. As the
examiner has since withdrawn the rejection of claims 15 through
23, the appeal as to these claims is hereby dismissed, leaving
for review the standing rejections of claims 1 through 3, 6, 7
and 24 through 28. Claims 15 through 23, along with claims 8
through 14 and 39 through 42, stand allowed. Claims 4 and 29
through 31, the only other claims pending in the application,
stand objected to as depending from rejected base claims.
