Judge(s): MOORE, GILMAN, and GRIFFIN, Circuit Judges

Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky at Frankfort

The court received a petition for rehearing en banc. The original panel has reviewed the petition for rehearing and concludes that the issues raised in the petition were fully considered upon the original submission and decision. Judge Griffin would grant the petition for the reasons stated in his dissent to the court’s opinion of March 18, 2025. The petition was then circulated to the full court. Less than a majority of the judges voted in favor of rehearing en banc. Therefore, the petition is denied.
