ON PETITION FOR REHEARING EN BANC
Per Curiam: The petition for rehearing en banc is DENIED because, at the request of one of its members, the court was polled, and a majority did not vote in favor of rehearing ( FED. R. APP. P. 35 and 5TH CIR. R. 35 ).
In the en banc poll, seven judges voted in favor of rehearing (Jones, Smith, Ho, Duncan, Engelhardt, Oldham, and Wilson), and nine voted against rehearing (Richman, Stewart, Elrod, Southwick, Haynes, Graves, Higginson, Willett, and Douglas).
