McCORD, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
I concurred in the opinions elaborating upon the principles of law to be applied in federal courts in cases involving orders and regulations of the Texas Railroad Commission. Sun Oil Co. v. Burford, 5 Cir., 124 F.2d 467, and opinion on Appellants’ Second Petition for Rehearing, July 11, 1942. However, in my special concurrence to the opinion of July 11, 1942, I expressed doubt that the court had the right to reopen the case and grant a new trial “after the lapse of such a great length of time, after the time allowed for filing petition for a writ of certiorari has expired.” I reiterate the doubt there expressed. I am of opinion that appellants’ second petition for rehearing came too late and should not have been granted.
I respectfully dissent.
