ORDER

                                         _________________

       A majority of the Judges of this Court in regular active service has voted for rehearing en
banc of this case. Sixth Circuit Rule 35(b) provides as follows:
 No. 17-6032                            Hodge v. Plappert                                  Page 2


       The effect of the granting of a hearing en banc shall be to vacate the previous
       opinion and judgment of this court, to stay the mandate and to restore the case on
       the docket sheet as a pending appeal.

       Accordingly, it is ORDERED, that the previous decision and judgment of this court are
vacated, the mandate is stayed, and this case is restored to the docket as a pending appeal.

       The Clerk will direct the parties to file supplemental briefs and will schedule this case for
oral argument as soon as possible.

                                              ENTERED BY ORDER OF THE COURT
