                 (Paper No. 111) which was decided by a panel of this board.  As the                                       
                 decision to deny Motion No. 4 was decided by a panel of the board, it                                     
                 governs further proceedings on this issue.  (See Standing Order                                           
                 paragraph 20,1).   Therefore, any consideration of the matter at                                          
                 this time is limited to a reconsideration of the original board panel                                     
                 decision.  (See Standing Order paragraph 20.1 and 20.2.1).                                                
                        A motion for reconsideration must specify with particularity the                                   
                 points believed to have been misapprehended or overlooked by the                                          
                 board panel in rendering its decision.  37 CFR 1.658(b); Standing Order                                   
                 paragraph 20.2.2.                                                                                         
                        Magee’s Miscellaneous Motion 8 does not address any points in                                      
                 the Decision on Preliminary Motions as it was directed to Magee Motion                                    
                 No. 4 which the senior party believes was misapprehended or                                               
                 overlooked by the board panel.   Rather, Magee Miscellaneous Motion                                       
                 8 directs our attention to additional evidence that has been submitted in                                 
                 the priority phase of this interference.   We decline to consider this                                    
                 additional evidence.                                                                                      
                        A party who files a preliminary motion may request testimony by                                    
                 way of a miscellaneous motion pursuant to CFR §1.635 if such is                                           
                 necessary to meet its burden.  (See Standing Order paragraph 13.4.3).                                     
                 As such, the senior party had an opportunity to take testimony prior to                                   

                                                      51
