On large maximal partial ovoids of the parabolic quadric q(4,q)

We use the representation $T_2(O)$ for $\q(4,q)$ to show that maximal partial ovoids of $\q(4,q)$ of size $q^2-1$, $q=p^h$, $p$ odd prime, $h > 1$, do not exist. Although this was known before, we give a slightly alternative proof, also resulting in more combinatorial information of the known examples for $q$ prime.
