          Interference No. 102,668                                                    


          Ellis, which were submitted during McMahon's testimony-in-                  
          chief period.                                                               
                    Cavanagh filed two motions to suppress all of the                 
          foregoing testimony with the exception of the testimony that                
          was considered in the June 2, 1994, decision on final hearing,              
          i.e., the first Jones affidavit and the Jones deposition                    
          testimony.  According to Cavanagh, the remaining testimony is               
          entitled to no consideration because it was not submitted in                
          compliance with the APJ's order of February 28, 1995, which                 
          specifies that "a party may take or present new direct                      
          testimony with respect to [a denied preliminary motion] by                  
          seeking leave to do in a motion under § 1.635 [footnote                     
          omitted], which must satisfactorily explain why the testimony               
          was unavailable when the corresponding preliminary motion . .               
          . was filed."   Cavanagh notes that McMahon failed to file23                                                             
          such a motion or provide a satisfactory explanation of why the              
          testimony in question was unavailable when the first                        
          § 1.633(a) motion was filed.  McMahon correctly counters that               
          he is entitled to rely on these affidavits as evidence of                   
          priority, i.e., to support his contention that the disclosures

                                          - 28 -
