____________________________
*Honorable Jerome Farris, Senior U.S. Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit, sitting by
designation.

HATCHETT, Chief Judge:
       In light of Calderon v. Ashmus, 118 S. Ct. 1694 (1998), we grant Florida’s

petition for rehearing, vacate our previous opinion, Hill v. Butterworth, 133 F.3d 783

(11th Cir. 1997), reverse the judgment of the district court, and remand the case with

instructions to dissolve the injunction and dismiss the complaint for want of a justiciable

case or controversy. See Hill, 133 F.3d at 785 n.7 (Florida raised this issue on appeal).*

                              REVERSED and REMANDED.

       *
           Florida’s motion to stay is denied as moot.
