Larry Walter, Inc., 76 N.Y.2d 912, 563 N.Y.S.2d 45, 564 N.E.2d 655, 656 (1990) (per curiam) (<HOLDING>). Others have held that, when a contractor has

After entering the home, the officers were entitled to photograph objects in their plain view, and they were also permitted to photograph evidence they viewed from outside the residence, such as the window screens. See Wilson v. Supt., Attica Corr. Facility, No. 00-CV-0767 (NAM)(GLS), 2003 WL 22765351, at *8 (N.D.N.Y. Nov. 24, 2003) (report and recommendation) (<HOLDING>), adopted, Order, 00-CV-0767 (NAM)(GS)

Moreover, if the court were to adopt the construction of the '403-S claims put forth by Glaxo, Claim 1 would contradict Claim 1 of the '838 patent, which retains the term "comprising" and claims the process for producing the compositions described in '403-S patent. Such a construction would be inconsistent. In light of these findings, the court concludes that the terms "comprising" and "composition" must be construed according to their plain meanings.
