ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
On March 29, 2010, Appellant filed a Notice of Appeal. On June 6,
2011, Appellant concurrently filed a request for oral hearing, a request for
continued examination and notice of appeal and a petition under 37 C.F.R.
§ 1.182. On June 21, 2011, a Decision on Petition was mailed which
dismissed the petition as moot. In accordance with that petition decision and
MPEP § 706.07, the RCE will be treated as a request to withdraw the appeal
and to reopen prosecution before the examiner.

Accordingly, the appeal in this application is dismissed.
