10 ISSUE
11 A page is missing from the Examiner's Answer.
12
13 FINDINGS OF FACT
14
15 The Examiner's Answer includes pages numbered 1-7 and 9
16 (excluding the Appendix). Page 9 has been renumbered "8" in ink.
17 However, the language at the end of page 7 does not correlate with the
18 language at the top of page 9 (renumbered in ink as "8").

20 ANALYSIS
21 From the inconsistent language bridging the bottom of page 7 and the
22 top of page 9, which had been renumbered as "8," we conclude that a page is
23 missing from the Examiner's Answer. Correction is required.
