1996 WL 362540

Before HATCHETT, Chief Judge, TJOFLAT, KRAVITCH, ANDERSON, EDMONDSON, COX, BIRCH, DUBINA, BLACK, CARNES and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

The Court having been polled at the request of one of the members of the Court and a majority of the Circuit Judges who are in regular active service not having voted in favor of it (Rule 35, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure; Eleventh Circuit Rule 35-5), the Suggestion of Rehearing En Banc is DENIED.

BARKETT, Circuit Judge, dissenting:

I respectfully dissent from the order of the majority of the court in denying the petition of appellee Carl Watts for en banc rehearing. This case presents important issues which, for reasons stated in Judge Carnes‘s dissent, were erroneously decided.
