          Interference No. 103,036                                                    



          as "Category A" motions.  Of these two motions, the APJ only                
          authorized the senior party Burroughs et al. to seek review at              
          the first final hearing of its motion under 37 CFR §§ 1.635 and             
          1.662(b) and its supplement thereto against Cataldi et al. (Paper           
          Nos. 425 and 553).                                                          
                    In response to the requirement, the senior party                  
          identified five categories of motions--A to E.  The category B              
          motions (three preliminary motions for judgment (Paper Nos. 91 to           
          93) and two miscellaneous motions (Paper Nos. 480 and 487)                  
          relate to the right of the junior parties Tucholski and Cataldi             
          et al. to remain in this interference and rely upon the                     
          consideration of affidavit evidence.  The senior party requested            
          reconsideration of the APJ's decision to deny the senior party              
          the right to rely upon the category B motions.  Upon                        
          reconsideration, the APJ authorized the senior party to seek                
          review of the category B motions, since they rely upon                      
          declarations, which were presented in the senior party's                    
          oppositions to the junior parties' motions.  The only other                 
          evidence, not relied upon in the oppositions, are the                       
          declarations of Mr. Peterson which introduce certain press                  

                                           -71-
