      Attorneys for Appellee

                   ORDER AMENDING PUBLISHED OPINION

AM BRO, Circuit Judge

            It is now ordered that the published Opinion in the above case filed June 25,
2004, be amended as follows:

              On page 2, column 2, in the paragraph marked as question 15, after the
word “In” and before the word “past”, insert with hard brackets the word “the” so that the
phrase reads “In [the] past 5 years,”.

              On page 6, column 1, in the last line, delete the words “is controlling” and
replace them with the word “controls”, so that the phrase reads, “when one of the Federal
Rules controls the point in dispute.”

                                         By the Court,

                                         /s/ Thomas L. Ambro, Circuit Judge

Dated: August 12, 2004
