CORNELIA G. KENNEDY, Circuit Judge,
dissenting.
I. dissent from the order of the Court in this case denying the government’s petition for en banc reconsideration.
The Manetas case (No. 80-5098) raises significant questions concerning the interpretation of Fed. R. Crim. P. 8(b) and 12(b)(2). In addition to the cases cited in my dissent, the decision of the majority also conflicts with those of the Fifth and Seventh Circuits in United States v. Wilson, 657 F.2d 755, 764 (5th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, ---U.S.--, 102 S.Ct. 1456 (1982), and United States v. Hedman, 630 F.2d 1184, 1199 (7th Cir. 1980), cert. denied, 450 U.S. 965, 101 S.Ct. 1481, 67 L.Ed.2d 614 (1981).
In the Hatcher case (No. 80-5094), in addition to the matters discussed in my dissent, rehearing should be granted to consider whether the cocaine, even if not legally seized, could have been admitted to rebut Hatcher’s entrapment claim.
