PER CURIAM.
Appellees' Suggestions For Rehearing En Banc, the response thereto and the reply have been circulated to the full Court. The taking of a vote was requested. Thereafter, a majority of the judges of the Court in regular, active service voted in favor of the suggestions. Accordingly, it is
ORDERED, by the Court en banc, that the suggestions are granted and these cases will be considered and decided by the Court sitting en banc. It is
FURTHER ORDERED, by the Court en banc, that the judgment of the panel filed in these consolidated cases on February 8, 1991, be, and the same hereby is, vacated. It is
FURTHER ORDERED, by the Court en banc, that oral argument will be heard on Wednesday, November 20, 1991, at 10:00 AM. The parties are directed to submit thirty copies of the joint appendix, if such is deemed necessary, and thirty copies of briefs. Along with any other issues deemed pertinent, the parties should address the following issues in their briefs:

(2) How does the Speedy Trial Act apply to the circumstances of these appeals?
