Summary

[This appeal was from the ED-MI.] On petition for a rehearing en banc, the original panel reviewed the petition and concluded that the issues raised were fully considered in the original submission and decision (see eJournal # 83628 in the 5/5/25 edition). The petition was then circulated to the full court. Less than a majority voted in favor of rehearing. Thus, the petition was denied.
