No. 82-5623.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

Honorable Thomas A. Wiseman, Jr., District Judge, United States District Court for the Mid-die District of Tennessee, sitting by designation.

Opinion:
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR REHEARING AND SUGGESTION FOR REHEARING EN BANC
Before the panel is the Petitioner-Appellant's Petition for Rehearing of 724 F.2d 37, and Suggestion for Rehearing En Banc. The Court did not favor rehearing en banc and the petition was referred to the panel for decision.
Appellant has also filed a Motion for Leave to file an Appendix. The appendix has been considered by the panel along with the brief and argument of petitioner.
Petitioner urges the Court to reconsider the en banc holding of Bowen v. Tennessee, 698 F.2d 241 (6th Cir.1983), that the issue of exhaustion may not be waived. This the Court declines to do and Bovien controls the decision in this case.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
