POOLER, Circuit Judge,
concurring in the denial of rehearing en banc:
I write as one of the majority of active judges who voted to deny rehearing en banc in this case. I write only for myself. I carefully studied the memoranda circulated by my colleagues who voted in favor *255of rehearing en banc, which presented arguments similar to those set forth in Judge Raggi’s dissent from the denial of en banc review. I did not vote against rehearing en banc because of some imagined distaste for en banc proceedings or because I thought that the issues presented here are so important we should expedite the Supreme Court’s consideration of this case. Instead, I voted to deny rehearing en banc because I believe that the panel’s decision in this case is substantively correct.
