A preliminary result on the study of the inclusive electron spectrum in B {yields} X{sub u}e{nu} decays above the kinematic limit for the dominant B {yields} X{sub c}e{nu} transitions is presented. This study is performed at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory, where B meson pairs are produced in the decay of the {Upsilon}(4S) resonance. For the electron momentum range of 2.3-2.6 GeV/c in the {Upsilon}(4S) rest frame, the partial branching ratio is measured to be {Delta}{Beta}(B {yields} X{sub u}e{nu}) = (0.152 {+-} 0.014 {+-} 0.014) {center_dot} 10{sup -3}.
