                                       UNITED STATES,

                                             Appellee,

                                                 v.

No. 15-1612

                                       UNITED STATES,

                                             Appellee,

                                                 v.

                                             Before
                                 Torruella, Kayatta, and Barron,
                                         Circuit Judges.

                                     ORDER OF COURT
                                  Entered: December 21, 2017

         The government's petition for panel rehearing, filed November 20, 2017, is denied. We
clarify that our opinion issued on September 8, 2017 does not address the merits of "the alternative
legal theory that if the pursuit of unwanted and superfluous work were a legitimate labor objective
(as we hold in this appeal), then force, violence, or fear (including fear of economic loss) may not
be used to obtain that objective," because the government waived that theory. United States v.
Burhoe, 871 F.3d 1, 21 n.17 (1st Cir. 2017).
                                                                     By the Court:
                                                                     /s/ Margaret Carter, Clerk
