          Shinomiya v. Hanyu                                                          

          LEE, Administrative Patent Judge.                                           

                                      JUDGMENT                                        
               On March 16, 2000, a decision on preliminary motions was               
          rendered in this case by an administrative patent judge.                    
          (Paper No. 59).  The decision contained an order for junior                 
          party Shinomiya to show cause why judgment should not be                    
          entered against it on the ground that it has chosen, for its                
          priority case, to rely on its accorded benefit date of January              
          31, 1991, and has failed in its efforts to attack the accorded              
          benefit dates of the senior party which are on various dates                
          in 1990.                                                                    
               Party Shinomiya was given twenty (20) days to respond to               
          the show cause order, and no response has been filed.  On the               
          morning of April 11, 2000, Paralegal Specialist Ms. Yolunda                 
          Townes of the Board called junior party’s counsel Mr. George                
          W. Neuner to ascertain if the junior party had filed a                      
          response to the show cause order, and was informed by Mr.                   
          Neuner that no such response was filed and that the junior                  
          party does not intend to file a response.                                   
               On the basis of the notice provided by junior party’s                  
          counsel to Board personnel on April 11, 2000, entry of                      
                                        - 2 -
