________________________
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Florida
________________________
Before TJOFLAT, Acting Chief Judge, HULL, MARCUS, WILSON, WILLIAM
PRYOR, MARTIN, JORDAN, ROSENBAUM, JULIE CARNES, and JILL
PRYOR, Circuit Judges.
BY THE COURT:
In an earlier order of this Court, we granted a petition for rehearing en banc
in this case. After that order was issued, Chief Judge Carnes discovered that he
may be recused and, in an abundance of caution to avoid any appearance of
impropriety, he has recused himself from any participation in the decision of this
case.
This court’s earlier order granting rehearing en banc is therefore
VACATED. As a majority of the judges of this Court in active service and eligible
to hear it have voted in favor of granting rehearing en banc, it is ORDERED that
this case will be reheard en banc. The panel’s opinion is VACATED.
