AMENDMENT AFTER FINAL NOT CONSIDERED

An After Final Amendment was filed in this application on
November 1, 2011. 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 November 1, 2011;
2) to notify appellant of the entry or non-entry of the Amendment After
Final filed November 1, 2011;
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.
