CORRECTED OPINION
On September 17, 1984, the district court entered a final judgment, ruling that Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. (Anheuser) was liable for approximately twelve metric tons of peanuts it had processed; that Anheuser properly revoked acceptance as to approximately 148 metric tons of peanuts it had blanched; and that Anheuser had rightfully rejected the remaining 1040 metric tons it had neither blanched nor procеssed. The court further ruled that the parties were to bear their own costs. Alimenta, Inc. (Alimenta) filed a timely motion *1162 for judgment NOY, or in the alternative, for a new trial. This motion was denied on August 2,1985, and Alimenta filed a Noticе of Appeal Docket Number 85-8686, on August 29, 1985. On September 13, 1985, the district court Clerk resubmitted a Rule 59 motion filed by Anheuser on September 27, 1984. The district court denied this motion on October 22, 1985 and Alimenta filed a second noticе of appeal, Docket Number 85-8859. On November 1, 1985, Anheuser filed a Notice of Cross Appeal. These two appeals, Docket Numbers 85-8686 and 85-8859, have been consolidated for determination.
FACTS:
Anheuser was seeking peanuts in the Fall of 1980. Alimenta supplied two samples of Malawi peanuts to Anheuser, and with Alimenta’s knowledge, Anheuser fried, oil-roasted and tested the samples.
On December 17, 1980, the parties contracted for the sale of 700 metric tons of Malawi peanuts at $1.20 per pound, plus 500 metric tons of Malawi peanuts at $1.30 per pound. Alimenta delivered the peanuts, and Anheuser temporarily stored thеm in warehouses. Anheuser began test production runs with the peanuts, and complained that the peanuts had a terrible taste and gave off an awful odor.
Anheuser notified Alimenta of the problem, and tried to vary the roasting process in an effort to eliminate the bad taste and smell. The efforts proved unavailing, and six weeks after shipment of the peanuts, Anheuser formally notified Alimenta that it was rejecting the peanuts. Prior to this notice of rejection, Anheuser blanched 160 metric tons of peanuts, and honey roasted 25,000 pounds. Anheuser returned the peanuts, and Alimenta filed a complaint alleging that Anheuser was in breach of contract by virtue of its failure to pay for 1200 metric tons of peanuts. Anheuser counterclaimed against Alimenta for the damages it suffered in consequences of being shipped defectivе and non-conforming goods.
The first issue to be addressed by this court relates to jurisdiction. The district court entered its final judgment in this case on September 17, 1984. On September 27, 1984, Anheuser filed a motion, styled as a Rule 59 motion, which asked that the district court reconsider its decision to require each party to bear its own costs. Alimenta timely filed a motion for a judgment NOV or, in the alternative, for a new trial. Alimenta’s motion was denied on August 2, 1985, and Alimenta filed a notice of appeal on August 29, 1985. Anheuser’s Rule 59 motion was resubmitted to the court on September 13, 1985. The district court denied that motion on October 22, 1985. Alimenta then filed a second noticе of appeal on October 25, 1985, in response to which Anheuser filed a timely Notice of Cross-Appeal. The issues created by this situation are whether Alimenta’s first Notice of Appeal was valid, and whеther Anheuser’s Notice of Cross-Appeal, filed in response to Alimenta’s second Notice of Appeal, is valid.
Rule 4(a)(4) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure provides that:
If a timely motion under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is filed in the district court by any party: ... under Rule 59 to alter or amend the judgment ... the time for appeal for all parties shall run from the entry of the order ... granting or denying any ... such motion. A notice of appeal filed before the disposition of any of the above motions shall have no effect.
Seemingly, Alimenta’s first notice of appeal filed during the pendency of Anheuser’s Rule 59 motion is ineffective. However, Anheuser’s “Rule 59” motion was not in fact a motion to alter or amend judgment. According to
Lucas v. Florida Power and Light Co.,
If a timely notice of apрeal is filed by a party, any other party may file a notice of appeal within 14 days after the date on which the first notice of appeal was filed, or within the time otherwise prescribed by this Rule 4(a), whiсhever period last expires.
Anheuser’s Notice of Cross Appeal was filed two months after Alimenta’s first Notice of Appeal, and was therefore not timely filed.
The next issue to be addressed is whether the district court abused its discretion in excluding the testimony of Dr. John T. Powers, an expert witness for Alimenta. The district court’s exclusion of Dr. Powers’ testimony was a sanction imposed upon Alimenta for failure to conform to Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(e)(1)(B) which states that:
A party is under a duty seasonably to supplement his response with respect to any question directly addressed to ... the identity of each person expected to be called as an expert witness at trial, the subject matter on which he is expected to testify, and the substance of his testimony.
The factors to be considered by the court in determining whether the evidence should bе excluded are set out in
Murphy v. Magnolia Electric Power Association,
The next issue to be determined is whether the Parole Evidence Rule, O.C. G.A. § 11-2-202, provides a basis to disturb the jury’s finding that Alimenta made and breached an express warranty by samрle. According to O.C.G.A. § 11-2-313, an express warranty may be created by sample:
(c) Any sample or model which is made part of the basis of the bargain creates an express warranty that the whole of the gоods shall conform to the sample or model.
Alimenta argues that this warranty conflicts with the express warranty set out in the contract between the parties, and is therefore noneffective.
O.C.G.A. § 11-2-202 states that:
Terms ... set fоrth in a writing intended by parties as a final expression of their agreement with respect to such terms as are included therein may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior agreement or of a contemporaneous oral agreement but may be explained or supplemented;
(b) By evidence of consistent additional terms unless the court finds the writing to have been intended also as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement.
It appears clear from the record that the samples Alimenta sent to Anheuser were intended to describe the product thаt Anheuser would receive in the bulk shipment. As correctly stated by the district court in its final judgment, “ ... no express warranties were created by the samples except that the peanuts supplied under the con *1164 trаct would conform to the size, appearance, and flavor of the sample peanuts.” The representations as to appearance and taste that Alimenta made by providing two sets of samples to Anheuser were consistent additional terms.
Because there is no indication that the written contract was a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement betweеn the parties, and because the terms expressed by the sample do not contradict those in the written contract, the Parole Evidence Rule does not prevent admission of evidence of the samples.
The final issue on appeal is whether the district court correctly ruled that Anheuser properly revoked acceptance of the blanched peanuts, and properly rejеcted those nuts which were neither blanched nor processed.
As to the blanched nuts, a buyer may revoke after acceptance if he accepted without discovery that the goods werе nonconforming, and if his acceptance was induced by difficulty of discovery of the nonconformity. See O.C.G.A. § 11-2-608. According to O.C.G.A. § 11-2-608(2), the revocation of acceptance must occur before any substantial change in the condition of the goods. The act of blanching the peanuts is perfected by raising the temperature to a certain degree, thus causing the outer red hulls to fall off. The district court сorrectly ruled that the act of blanching the peanuts constituted an acceptance of the goods pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 11-2-606(l)(c), as an “act inconsistent with the seller’s ownership” and that the blanching proсess did not substantially change the peanuts.
As to, the peanuts which were neither blanched nor processed, the district court correctly ruled that they were properly rejected. As determined by the distriсt court, Alimenta breached the implied warranty of merchantability by delivering goods that were not fit for the ordinary purposes and did not run of even kind, quality, and quantity within each unit and among all units involved. In accordаnce with O.C.G.A. § 11-2-602(1), the rejection came within a reasonable time, and Alimenta was seasonably notified of the rejection.
For the aforestated reasons, the decision of the district court is hereby affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
