Appeal 2007-2205 Application 10/396,013 toward placing this application in condition for decision on appeal with respect to the issues presented. If, on the other hand, the Examiner has decided to withdraw the obviousness-type double patenting grounds of rejection of all of the appealed claims and the earlier filed Amended Brief is considered an adequate reply to the earlier defective Brief Notification of October 13, 2006, the Examiner should furnish a Supplemental Answer communicating such with an explanation as to why this grounds of rejection is no longer considered to be warranted. ORDER Accordingly, the Examiner is required to take appropriate action consistent with current examining practice and procedure to rectify the above-noted matters. 37 C.F.R. § 41.50(a)(2) (2005) does not apply. We hereby remand this application to the Examiner, via the Office of a Director of the Technology Center involved, for appropriate action in view of the above comments. This application, by virtue of its “special” status, requires immediate action.
