MEMORANDUM TO COUNSEL OR PARTIES LISTED BELOW 

Regarding: Fifth Circuit Statement on Petitions for Rehearing or 

Rehearing En Bane 

No.	 07-10485 In Re: Spain 

USDC No. 4:07-MC-13 

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

j udgment under FED. R . ApP. P. 36. (However, the opinion may yet 

contain typographical or printing errors which are subject to 

correction. ) 

5TH FED. R. ApP. P. 39 through 41, and CrR. RULES 35, 39, and 41 govern 

5TH costs, rehearings, and mandates. eIR. 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 (lOP's) following FED. R. ApP. P. 40 

5TH and CrR. 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 bane. 

5 Direct Criminal Appeals. TH CrR. 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, 

CHARLES R. FULBRUGE III, Clerk
