      This case was heard by a panel of three judges. Combined petitions for panel

The petition for rehearing en banc and response having been referred to the circuit

judges who are in regular active service, and a poll having been requested and taken,

       IT IS ORDERED THAT:

       Rehearing en banc is granted for the limited purpose of authorizing the panel to

revise part II of its opinion.

       The judgment of the court entered on March 19, 2008, and reported at 519 F.3d

withdrawn.

       The en banc court returns this appeal to the merits panel, which issues the

revised opinion that accompanies this order.
