Lara v. Johnson

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Lara v. Johnson, 149 F.3d 1226 (5th Cir. 1998)
1998 WL 461301

Lara v. Johnson

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Treating the Petition for Rehearing En Banc as a Petition for Panel Rehearing on behalf of Richard Lara, the Petition for Panel Rehearing is GRANTED-IN-PART as is the Petition for Rehearing of Gary L. Johnson, Director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, as stated further below. No member of this panel nor judge in regular active service on the court having requested that the court be polled on Rehearing En Banc filed by the Appellant, Richard Lara, the Suggestion for Rehearing En Bane in his behalf is DENIED.

Both the appellant and Appellee have called our attention to an error in the prior opinion with regards to Footnote 3 of the opinion. Footnote 3 is hereby revised from:

Lara originally alleged that his rights to a speedy trial under the IAD were violated by Texas and California. On appeal, he only alleges this claim against Texas. Failure to brief an issue on appeal constitutes waiver. Koetting, 995 F.2d at 38 n. 1.

Instead it will read:

Lara originally alleged that his rights to a speedy trial under the IAD were violated by Texas and California. On appeal, he only alleges this claim against California. Failure to brief an issue on appeal constitutes waiver. Koetting, 995 F.2d at 38 n. 1.
