Abstract: From a sample of 332000 $B\overline{B}$ pairs produced in ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ annihilations at the $\ensuremath{\Upsilon}(4S)$ resonance we derive upper limits for the branching fractions for the decays ${B}^{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p\overline{p}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ and ${\overline{B}}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p\overline{p}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ in several final-state momentum configurations. The results do not confirm recently reported observations of charmless $B$ decays.
