Appeals from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana November 18, 2002 ON PETITION FOR REHEARING Before REAVLEY, BARKSDALE, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Because the underlying opinion, Zaffuto v.

On remand, the district court shall, at the appropriate time, re-determine whether and to what extent the plaintiffs are entitled to attorney’s fees.

In all other respects, the petition for rehearing is DENIED.
