Order Denying Suggestion for Rehearing En Bane.
Aug. 21, 1995
MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judge.
The petition for rehearing en banc asserts that “Polk County was never allowed to present evidence concerning whether it would have terminated Mr. Brown’s employment without considering the two incidents this court invalidated.” To the contrary, the district court held a five-day bench trial at which Polk County had every opportunity to ask whatever questions it wanted and to develop the record in any way it desired. Now, more than two years after the original trial, Polk County seeks in effect to reopen the evidence in order to repair an omission on its part. We see no reason to grant that request.
The petition for rehearing en banc is therefore denied.
