                 Ex parte EARNEY E. STOUTENBURG and DEAN A. SEIFERT

                             Application No. 09/416,518                               
                                                                                     
                           ORDER VACATING ORDER PURSUANT                              
                                 TO 37 CFR § 1.14(g)                                  
                                                                                     

               On January 8, 2004, the Board of Patent Appeals and                    
          Interferences (hereinafter the "Board") mailed an "Order Pursuant           
          to 37 CFR § 1.14(g)" (Paper No. 16) notifying appellants of its             
          intent to publish the decision mailed on October 16, 2003 (Paper            
          No. 15).   Counsel for appellants responded to the Board in a               
          communication filed on March 9, 2004 (Paper No. 17) indicating              
          that appellants did not object to the publication of their                  
          decision mailed on October 16, 2003 (Paper No. 15).                         
               After careful review, the Board discovered that the Order              
          was entered in error (Paper No. 16).  Therefore, the Board is               

                                         -1-
