ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
Before REAVLEY, BENAVIDES and WIENER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*

-- 1 of 2 --

Counsel for O’Keefe contends that our description of one of his arguments was
unduly harsh. We grant the motion for limited panel rehearing as follows. We delete the
following sentence from our opinion:
O’Keefe’s argument to this court that Moore gave “false testimony to the jury that
he had ‘no deal’ with the Government,” O’Keefe’s opening brief at 9, and that in a
post-trial civil deposition Moore “for the first time admitted that, through his
attorney, he did obtain a ‘deal with the government,’” id. at 28, is highly
misleading and a mischaracterization of the record.
We substitute the following sentence in place of the deleted sentence:
O’Keefe’s argues that Moore gave “false testimony to the jury that he had ‘no
deal’ with the Government,” O’Keefe’s opening brief at 9, and that in a post-trial
civil deposition Moore “for the first time admitted that, through his attorney, he
did obtain a ‘deal with the government,’” id. at 28.
There being no other petition for rehearing, the mandate shall issue.
