Opinion:
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING EN BANC.
PER CURIAM:
Treating the petition for rehearing en banc as a petition for panel rehearing, the petition for panel rehearing is DENIED. The court having been polled at the request of one of its members, and a majority of the judges who are in regular active service and not disqualified not having vot ed in favor (Fed. R.App. P. 35 and 5th Cir. R. 35), the petition for rehearing en banc is DENIED.
In the en banc poll, 7 judges voted in favor of rehearing (Chief Judge Stewart, and Judges Davis, Dennis, Prado, South-wick, Graves, and Costa), and 7 judges voted against rehearing (Judges Jolly, Jones, Smith, Clement, Owen, Elrod, and Haynes).
