With these amendments, Judges Reinhardt and W. Fletcher have voted to deny Plaintiffs-Appellants' petition for rehearing and Defendants-Appellees' petition for rehearing and petition for rehearing en banc. Judge Rawlinson has voted to deny Plaintiff-Appellants' petition for rehearing and to grant Defendants-Appellees' petition for rehearing and petition for rehearing en banc.
A judge of the court called for a vote on the petition for rehearing en banc. A vote was taken, and a majority of the active judges of the court failed to vote for en banc rehearing. Fed. R.App. P. 35(f).
The petitions for rehearing and the petition for rehearing en banc are DENIED. No further petitions for rehearing or for rehearing en banc may be filed. The mandate shall be issued forthwith.
