Wilks didnt request. Sullivan requested through his atty. Wilkerson and another attorney at her firm signed the petition.Sullivan didnt do it himself. Taxpayers pay.
Maybe I wasnt clear enough. Sullivan filed the papers thru his attorney. I was musing that he appointed this former judge, John Gleason, to challenge the Flynn motions and Gleason apparently did not have the balls to file a petition for hearing en banc himself. So that meant Sullivan had to do it if he wanted a review by the entire court.
