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.
