Heading: The Intrinsic Test for Similarity of Expression.

Text: 26 Nor did the district court err in the application of the intrinsic test. We agree that Coma and Reincarnation are not substantially similar in their form of expression. Our own, independent review of the works satisfies us that they are substantially dissimilar in the mood evoked ... as a whole, see See v. Durang, 711 F.2d at 144, and in the total concept and feel of the works, see Litchfield, 736 F.2d at 1357. We are confident that no reasonable reader or moviegoer would recognize either the book or movie Coma as a picturization or dramatization of Reincarnation. See id. at 1357. 27 AFFIRMED.
