O R D E R
We have before us the petitions for rehearing en banc, filed by Defendants-
Appellees on February 8, 2017. We construe these petitions to include request for panel
rehearing, and so construed, all members of the original panel have voted to grant
panel rehearing.
After reviewing the briefs and the record, we have determined that the court
would benefit from counseled briefs from Appellant, as well as oral argument. See F ED.
R. A PP . P. 34(a)(2)(C). Accordingly, we will recruit counsel for the pro se Appellant.
Accordingly, the petitions for rehearing are hereby GRANTED. The briefs
previously filed by the parties are STRICKEN, and a further order designating counsel
and setting a schedule for briefing and oral argument will follow.
