                Before WINTERS, ROBINSON, and GRIMES,  Administrative Patent Judges.                          
                GRIMES, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                          

                                           DECISION ON APPEAL                                                 
                      An oral hearing in this case was scheduled for November 27, 2001.  Upon                 
                reviewing the case, however, we have determined that an oral hearing will not be              
                necessary and we render the following decision based on the record.                           
                      This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner’s                  
                final rejection of claims 1 and 2.  Claims 1 and 2 are directed to specific crystal           
                forms (form “S” and form “T,” respectively) of 1-[5-Methanesulfonamidoindolyl-2-              
                carbonyl]-4-[3-(1-methylethylamino)-2-pyridinyl]-piperazine
