I've been on the road most of the day but got word from my co-counsel that
an order granting rehearing en banc issued, as Brad notes, along with a
briefing schedule.   (I'm one of the attorneys for Plaintiffs-Appellants.)
I'm told that Plaintiffs' brief is due net month, Defendants' answering
briefs in September, and a reply some time after that -- which would mean
that oral argument won't likely occur before October.   I'd expect the order
to appear on the Sixth Circuit's website by tomorrow.

Here is an AP report:
