                       ORDER AMENDING SLIP OPINION

AM BRO, Circuit Judge

       It is now ordered that the published Opinion in the above case filed December 18,
2003, be amended as follows:

       On page 8 of the slip opinion, three lines from the top of the page, replace the
word “is” with the word “are” so that the phrase reads: “house members are “within the
sphere ...”

        On page 8 of the slip opinion, five lines from the bottom of the full paragraph,
after the cite 528, replace the long dash (“—”) with a semi-colon, followed by a space
(“; ”).

      On page 8 of the slip opinion, in the last sentence of the full paragraph replace the
word “is” with the word “are” so the sentence reads:

       “Representatives DeWeese and Veon’s “deliberative and communicative
       processes” in the course of exercising that legislative authority are,
       therefore, privileged from judicial scrutiny.”

       On page 9 of the slip opinion, in the first sentence under section V, the Conclusion,
replace the words “is a” with “are” and add an “s” to the word “act” so that the sentence
reads:

       “We hold that Representatives DeWeese and Veon’s acts of allocating the
       General Assembly’s office-staffing appropriation among individual
       Representatives are legislative acts to which legislative immunity extends.”

                                          By the Court,

                                          /s/ Thomas L. Ambro, Circuit Judge
Dated: February 11, 2004
