SUR PETITION FOR PANEL REHEARING

_______________________________

The petition for rehearing filed by appellant is GRANTED. The order of March 28,

2008 is vacated as inadvisedly entered. The appeal is not dismissed for lack of

jurisdiction at this time. The appeal is stayed pending the outcome of Fontroy v. Beard,

C.A. Nos. 07-2446 and 07-2514. We decline to determine at this time whether dismissal

under 28 U.S.C. §1915(e)(2) or summary action would be appropriate. We defer ruling

on Appellant’s motion for the appointment of counsel. Appellant’s motion for a stay of

this appeal pending a ruling on a summary judgment motion filed in E.D. Pa. 05-cv01803 is denied as moot. The motion seeking leave to proceed as amicus curiae is
