United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Opinion:
ORDER
The Grant-Intervenors-Appellees and the Capacchione-Intervenor-Appellee each filed a motion to reconsider the issue of attorneys' fees and a motion to stay the mandate pending resolution of the motion to reconsider. The motion to reconsider is denied by a vote of 6-5 (Chief Judge Wilkinson and Judges Niemeyer, Michael, Motz, King, and Gregory in the majority). The motions to reconsider effectively stayed the mandate, but that stay is now lifted. Chief Judge Wilkinson filed an opinion concurring in the denial of rehearing. Judge Traxler filed an opinion dissenting from the denial of rehearing in which Judges Widener and Wilkins joined.
The motion of the Belk plaintiffs for a stay of the mandate is denied.
