PAULINO ZAVALA,

                                                   Plaintiff-Appellant,

             Appeal from the Untied States District Court
                  for the Southern District of Texas

                           September 14, 1999

                       ON PETITION FOR REHEARING

Before JOLLY and SMITH, Circuit Judges, and SARAH S. VANCE,*
District Judge.

PER CURIAM:

        We treat counsel’s letter of September 14, 1999, as a petition

for rehearing.      The panel opinion contains two minor errors on

pages 2 and 4.      The panel erroneously confused Officer Zavala’s

disciplinary case number (96-1832), with his personnel number

(84155).     Thus, the panel was in error on page 2 of its opinion in

    *
      United States District Judge, Eastern District of Louisiana,
sitting by designation.
stating: “Thus, the City argues that because he can disclose no

information concerning his suspension in case number 84155,. . .”

and on page 4 of its opinion in stating: “A straightforward reading

of the writings in this case leads to a conclusion that each

agreement is limited to a specific waiver of Officer Zavala’s right

to appeal his twenty calendar day disciplinary suspension in a

specific case, number 84155.” In both respects, the opinion should

have referred to number 96-1832 instead of 84155. In this respect,

we amend the panel opinion to reflect these changes.

     In all other respects, the petition for rehearing is

                                                       D E N I E D.
