On Petition for Rehearing

Before JONES, HIGGINBOTHAM, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appellant Kenneth J. Arenson petitions this Court on

Local Rule 47.5 provides: "The publication of opinions that have no

district court for determination of a reasonable attorney's fee and

appropriate interest.

Clarification GRANTED; case REMANDED.
