No. 01-30714.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
March 25, 2003.
William R. Mustain, III, Stanga & Mus-tain, Metairie, LA, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

Before JONES, SMITH and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Appellant Frank seeks rehearing of our opinion that affirmed the Secretary's denial of disability benefits for her degenerative disc disease condition. She urges that our opinion conflicts with this court's recent decision in Watson v. Barnhart, 288 F.3d 212 (5th Cir.2002). Because her claim raises questions as to the proper scope of Watson, we publish this order on rehearing, followed by our original (unpublished) opinion.
