NO DECISION ON JEREMY PIVEN

NEW YORK — An industry panel was unable to resolve a grievance filed against Jeremy Piven, who quit the Broadway show "Speed-the-Plow" in December, saying he had been diagnosed with mercury poisoning, possibly from eating too much sushi. Piven was at yesterday's hearing on the producers' grievance, but the panel of Actors' Equity and Broadway League representatives was unable to reach the necessary unanimous decision.

Three different actors — including William H. Macy — have followed Piven in the role of movie mogul Bobby Gould, and the show completed its run Feb. 22.
