Transport measurements of interlayer magnetoresistance with the field parallel to the current direction have been performed on single crystals of organic superconductor {beta}{sup {double_prime}}-(BEDT{endash}TTF){sub 2}SF{sub 5}CH{sub 2}CF{sub 2}SO{sub 3}. The magnetoresistance is found to display a pronounced peak as a function of magnetic field below the superconducting transition temperature, similar to those of {kappa}-(BEDT{endash}TTF){sub 2}X compounds. Analysis of the magnetoresistance peak in terms of a simple pair and quasiparticle tunneling model gives a physically negligible gap energy. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
