The MEGA experiment is designed to search for the lepton-flavor number non-conserving rare decay {mu} {yields} {ital e}{gamma}. Data- taking is complete, with 450 million events on tape taken over approximately 10{sup 7} seconds. A small portion of the data sample has been processed through the complete event reconstruction codes to search for the {mu} {yields} {ital e}{gamma} process. No evidence for the {mu} {yields} {ital e}{gamma} decay is observed at a sensitivity of {approximately}7 x 10{sup -11} (90% confidence).
