ORDER AMENDING OPINION

1
The opinion published at 19 F.3d 1565 (11th Cir.1994) is amended as follows to correct a clerical error:

2
1. The number "1108" is deleted and is replaced with "1028" in the following sentences:

3
(a) the final sentence of the third paragraph on page 1583 (located on the right side of the page below the block quote portion of the paragraph);

4
(b) the second and third sentences of the fourth paragraph on page 1583 (located on the bottom right side of the page);

5
(c) the first and third sentences of the first paragraph on page 1584 (located on the left side of the page).

6
2. The second sentence of the first paragraph on page 1584 (located on the left side of the page) is amended to read:

7
Under this interpretation, sections 1131 and 1028 serve distinct purposes;  the term "willfully" as used in section 1131 ensures that the act was done voluntarily and not by accident or mistake;  and section 1028 provides the proper scope of defenses in accordance with the codified "prudent man" standard as determined by Congress.
