Opinions

ORDER

The en banc court is equally divided in this case. Seven members favor affirmance of the judgment of the District Court, and seven favor reversal. Hence, as is customary under such circumstances, the judgment of the District Court is affirmed by an equally divided vote.

The mandate will not issue for fourteen (14) days from the date of this order so that members of the court may file any separate opinions they wish to.
