_________________________________________________________________

                               (May 11, 1995)

                        On Petition for Rehearing

Before JONES, HIGGINBOTHAM, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

            Appellant Kenneth J. Arenson petitions this Court on

rehearing for a clear ruling on his claim to attorney's fees,

interest on his judgment, and relief based on his Title VII claim.

            Local Rule 47.5 provides: "The publication of opinions that have no

the legal profession." Pursuant to that Rule, the Court has determined that this
opinion should not be published.
a reasonable fee and appropriate interest.       However, Appellant's

request for Title VII relief is denied because Arenson waived his

Title VII claim by failing to seek a ruling on that issue from the

Arenson I panel.

          Except   as   specifically   granted    above,   Appellant's

Petition for Rehearing is DENIED.      This case is REMANDED to the

district court for determination of a reasonable attorney's fee and

appropriate interest.

          Clarification GRANTED; case REMANDED.
