ORDER
A majority of the Judges of this Court in regular active service has voted for rehearing en banc of this case.
A decision to grant rehearing en banc vacates the previous opinion and judgment of the court, stays the mandate, and restores the case on the docket as a pending appeal.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the previous decision and judgment of this court are vacated, the mandate is stayed, and this case is restored to the docket as a pending appeal. It is further ORDERED that the pending Motion to Compel Defendant-Appellee to Comply with the Court‘s Order (Dkt. 35) and Motion to Stay Judgment and Issuance of the Mandate (Dkt. 36) are denied as moot.
The parties are directed to file a notice to the court as soon as possible but no later than Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. (Eastern) addressing the following: (1) whether additional briefing is desired, and if so, a proposed schedule for the submission of briefs; and (2) whether oral argument before the en banc court is desired, and if so, a proposed schedule and format for oral argument. The parties should confer on their proposals for briefing and argument. If the parties reach consensus, they should file a joint notice. If the parties do not reach a consensus, each party should file a separate notice. After consideration of the parties’ position(s), the Court will issue an order with the requirements for submission of this matter for en banc consideration.
