    A combined petition for panel rehearing and

of whether to rehear the appeal en banc. A poll was
requested, taken, and failed.

    Upon consideration thereof,

    IT IS ORDERED THAT:

     (1) The petition of defendant-appellant for panel rehearing is
denied.
     (2) The petition of defendant-appellant for rehearing en banc
is denied.
     (3) The mandate of the court will issue on November 1, 2013.
