DISMISSAL OF APPEAL

Examination (RCE) under 37 CFR § 1.114. Pursuant to the notice entitled “Request for
Continued Examination Practice and Changes to Provisional Application Practice,”
65 Fed. Reg. 50092, 50095 (Aug. 16, 2000), and the provisions of 37 CFR § 1.114(d),
a request for continued examination under 37 CFR § 1.114 filed after appeal has been
taken, but prior to a decision on the appeal, “will be treated as a request to withdraw the
appeal and to reopen prosecution of the application before the examiner.”
Accordingly, the appeal in this application is dismissed.
