          Appeal No. 1997-2021                                                        
          Application No. 08/500,231                                                  


          the request is denied.  Appellant has long lost any rights                  
          accorded to him under the rules of practice to seek any relief              
          for any                                                                     





          alleged errors in these earlier decisions on appeal.  Of those              
          first three appeals taken by appellant during earlier                       
          prosecution of parent applications of this application, a                   
          request for reconsid-eration was filed in a timely manner only              
          with respect to the second appeal in Appeal No. 92-1594 which               
          request was denied on June 18, 1992.  We are unaware of any                 
          provision of 37 CFR § 1.197 which permits appellant to seek a               
          reconsideration of prior appeals after the time set therefor                
          has expired.                                                                
               We have considered appellant's positions set forth                     
          between paragraphs 27 and 44 of the request for rehearing.  It              
          is believed that the discussion at pages 4 and 5 of our                     
          original opinion in effect basically still answers the urgings              
          for reconsideration set forth in the above noted paragraphs.                
          For emphasis, we repeat again the essence of the statement we               
                                          3
