               In a MEMORANDUM OPINION and ORDER entered 14 August 2000               
          (Paper 20), the panel denied Mattson Preliminary Motion 2 seeking           
          to attack a priority benefit accorded to Rouyer.  Accordingly,              
          Mattson remained junior party.
