ON SUGGESTION FOR REHEARING EN BANC
PER CURIAM:

1
Treating the suggestion for rehearing en banc as a petition for panel rehearing, it is ordered that the petition for panel rehearing is GRANTED.

2
We withdraw our unpublished opinion affirming the enhanced sentence of Silex, based on our Circuit's formerly controlling authority of United States v. Leonard, 868 F.2d 1393 (5th Cir.1989), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 110 S.Ct. 2585, 110 L.Ed.2d 266 (1990).  Leonard's reasoning is rejected by the Supreme Court in Taylor v. United States, --- U.S. ----, 110 S.Ct. 2143, 109 L.Ed.2d 607 (1990).  We therefore VACATE the sentence of Silex and REMAND this cause for proceedings consistent with the opinion in Taylor.    It is so

ORDERED.
