O R D E R
On November 18, 1997, we filed our opinion in this case in
which we recited that relief was sought from an order entered
December 6, 1995, among other orders. Further reference to the
record shows that our said opinion should have referred to an order
entered December 5, 1995 rather than December 6, 1995.
To that order entered December 5, 1995, Armstrong, on December
19, 1995, filed his motion under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) to alter or
amend the judgment of the said order of the district court entered
December 5, 1995.
The district court never acted on the said motion of Armstrong
filed December 19, 1995, although the same was timely filed.
Through error, we dismissed the appeal in this case from the said
order of December 5, 1995, although the said motion of Armstrong
filed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) had never been acted on.
Armstrong has filed his petition for rehearing to our said
decision of November 18, 1997, and so far as our opinion denies
relief by way of appeal from the said order of December 5, 1995,
the petition for rehearing is well taken.
It is accordingly ADJUDGED and ORDERED that so far as our said
decision of November 18, 1997 denies relief from the said order of
the district court entered December 5, 1995, our decision shall be,
and it hereby is, vacated.
It is further ADJUDGED and ORDERED that the case shall be, and
it hereby is, remanded to the district court to take further action
in the case consistent with this order.
With the concurrences of Judge Luttig and Judge Butzner.
