AMENDMENT AFTER FINAL NOT CONSIDERED

An After Final Amendment was filed in this application on July
26, 2010. There is no indication in the record that the After Final
Amendment was considered by the Examiner. The Examiner needs to
determine if the After Final Amendment will or will not be entered,
and notify appellant of said entry or non-entry.

Accordingly, it is ordered that the application is remanded to the
Examiner:

1) to consider the Amendment After Final filed July 26, 2010;
2) to notify appellant of the entry or non-entry of the Amendment After
Final filed July 26, 2010; and
3) for further action as may be appropriate.

If there are any questions pertaining to this Order, please contact the
Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences at 571-272-9797.
