The panel unanimously voted to deny the petition for rehearing and recommended rejecting the suggestion for rehearing en banc. The full court was informed of the en banc request, which prompted an active judge to call for a vote on the matter. However, the proposal for en banc consideration did not achieve a majority of votes from the nonrecused active judges. As a result, both the petition for rehearing and the suggestion for rehearing en banc were denied.
