         Before DOWNEY, WILLIAM F. SMITH, and TORCZON, Administrative                
         Patent Judges.

                                      JUDGMENT                                       
                          (PURSUANT TO 37 CFR § 1.662(a))                            
                                    INTRODUCTION                                     
              Senior party Pelzer has conceded priority to junior party              
         Ruiz (Paper No. 60) for the subject matter of the sole count                
         (Paper No. 59).  Ruiz's response (Paper No. 61) to an order to              
         show cause (Paper No. 56) is rendered moot by Pelzer's                      
         concession.                                                                 






          35 U.S.C. § 135(c) Notice :  Failure to file a copy of any agreement regarding
          the termination of this proceeding may render the agreement and any resulting
          patents unenforceable.  See section 135(c) and 37 CFR § 1.661 for more     
          details.
