MEMORANDUM TO COUNSEL OR PARTIES LISTED BELOW

Regarding: Fifth Circuit Statement on Petitions for Rehearing or

Rehearing En Banc

No. 08-30969, Bowens v. Cain

USDC No. 2:05-CV-5714

---------------------------------------------------

Enclosed is a copy of the court's decision. The court has

entered judgment under FED. R. APP. P. 36. (However, the opinion

may yet contain typographical or printing errors which are

subject to correction.)

FED. R. APP. P. 39 through 41, and 5TH CIR. RULES 35, 39, and 41

govern costs, rehearings, and mandates. 5 C TH IR. RULES 35 and 40

require you to attach to your petition for panel rehearing or

rehearing en banc an unmarked copy of the court's opinion or

order. Please read carefully the Internal Operating Procedures

(IOP's) following FED. R. APP. P. 40 and 5TH CIR. R. 35 for a

discussion of when a rehearing may be appropriate, the legal

standards applied and sanctions which may be imposed if you make

a nonmeritorious petition for rehearing en banc.

Direct Criminal Appeals . 5TH CIR. R. 41 provides that a motion

for a stay of mandate under FED. R. APP. P. 41 will not be

granted simply upon request. The petition must set forth good

cause for a stay or clearly demonstrate that a substantial

question will be presented to the Supreme Court. Otherwise, this

court may deny the motion and issue the mandate immediately.

Pro Se Cases . If you were unsuccessful in the district court

and/or on appeal, and are considering filing a petition for

certiorari in the United States Supreme Court, you do not need

to file a motion for stay of mandate under FED. R. APP. P. 41.

The issuance of the mandate does not affect the time, or your

right, to file with the Supreme Court.

 Sincerely,

 LYLE W. CAYCE, Clerk
