The petition for panel rehearing is DENIED. The petition for rehearing en banc is DENIED because, at the request of one of its members, the court was polled, and a majority did not vote in favor of rehearing (Fed. R. App. P. 35 and 5th Cir. R. 35).

In the en banc poll, six judges voted in favor of rehearing (Judges Jones, Richman, Willett, Duncan, Oldham, and Wilson), and seven judges voted against rehearing (Chief Judge Elrod and Judges Stewart, Southwick, Graves, Higginson, Engelhardt, and Ramirez).
