                     Submitted Under Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a)
                                December 1, 2008

          Before: AMBRO, WEIS, and VAN ANTWERPEN, Circuit Judges

                         (Opinion filed December 30, 2008)

               ORDER AMENDING PRECEDENTIAL OPINION

AMBRO, Circuit Judge

       IT IS NOW ORDERED that the published Opinion in the above case filed December
30, 2008, be amended as follows:
       On pages 11–12, starting at the fourth line from the bottom, replace

             As such, we will uphold the District Court’s dismissal only if,
             accepting “all well pleaded factual allegations as true and
             draw[ing] all reasonable inferences from such allegations in
             favor of the complainant,” it is clear that Rodriguez and King
             cannot prove a set of facts that would entitle them to relief.
             Worldcom, Inc. v. Graphnet, Inc., 343 F.3d 651, 653 (3d Cir.
             2003).

with

             As such, we “accept all factual allegations as true, construe the
             complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and
             determine whether, under any reasonable reading of the
             complaint, the plaintiff may be entitled to relief.” Id. at 233

             (3d Cir. 2002)).

                                         By the Court,

                                         /s/ Thomas L. Ambro, Circuit Judge
