  We have selected 14 J-dropout Lyman Break Galaxy (LBG) candidates with J110 -
H160 > 2.5 from the NICMOS Parallel Imaging Survey. This survey consists of 135
square arcminutes of imaging in 228 independent sight lines, reaching average 5
sigma sensitivities of J110 = 25.8 and H160 = 25.6 (AB). Distinguishing these
candidates from dust reddened star forming galaxies at z ~ 2-3 is difficult,
and will require longer wavelength observations. We consider the likelihood
that any J-dropout LBGs exist in this survey, and find that if L*(z=9.5) is
significantly brighter than L*(z=6) (a factor of four), then a few J-dropout
LBGs are likely. A similar increase in luminosity has been suggested by Eyles
et al. and Yan et al., but the magnitude of this increase is uncertain.
