[Patentcenter] ePetition Request for Withdrawal as Attorney or Agent of Record STILL not working

[J Meng Nakagawa PhD 孟琤 博士]

Hi Bruce, I couldn't find it either and just filed aia0083.pdf via 
Patent Center on Apr 5, 2024, and received paper grant on Apr 29, in 
snail mail. I didn't receive any electronic notification. After I 
received the paper grant, I can see it via Patent Center since the case 
is published. I guess one way to keep checking is to log in and see if 
it has been removed from your docket.
