ORDER

The government has filed a document that it has styled a “Petition of the United States for Rehearing” in this case, in which it asks the court to revise some of the language in the opinion that was issued earlier. See United States v. Swan, 224 F.3d 632 (7th Cir.2000). This is not a proper petition for rehearing, for the simple reason that it does not seek an alteration in the judgment of the court. While this might seem like a technical quibble, it is not. A proper petition for rehearing has the effect of tolling the time available to any party in the case to seek a writ of certiorari in the Supreme Court. See Supreme Court Rule 13.3. Without such a petition, the time runs from the date of the entry of the judgment or order sought to be reviewed. Id.

Having said that, we are nonetheless entitled .to construe the government’s filing as a suggestion for certain changes in the text of the opinion that was issued. The government is concerned that certain language in the opinion could be construed in a manner inconsistent with the Supreme Court’s decision in Reves v. Ernst & Young, 507 U.S. 170, 113 S.Ct. 1163, 122 *1041 L.Ed.2d 525 (1993), which established the requirements for a conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 1962(e). Reves, it points out, held that “ ‘to conduct or participate, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of [a RICO enterprise’s] affairs,’ § 1962(c), one must participate in the operation or management of the enterprise itself.” 507 U.S. at 185, 113 S.Ct. 1163 (emphasis added). Although the Swan opinion correctly reflects this test in most places, there are a few passages that could be read to impose a cumulative requirement of operation and management, or operation, management, and control.

We agree that the opinion could be confusing in this respect and could be misinterpreted in the future, and we therefore on our own amend it as follows:

See id. at 183, 113 S.Ct. 1163; Goren v. New Vision Int’l Inc., 156 F.3d 721, 727-28 (7th Cir.1998). Reves also held that “[a]n enterprise might be ‘operated’ or ‘managed’ by others ‘associated with’ the enterprise who exert control over it ...507 U.S. at 184, 113 S.Ct. 1163.
