Here is the order
THOMAS, Chief Judge and En Banc Coordinator:
A judge on this Court has made a sua sponte request that a vote be taken as
to whether the order issued by the three judge motions panel on February 9, 2017,
should be reconsidered en banc. A sua sponte en banc call having been made, the
parties are instructed to file simultaneous briefs setting forth their respective
positions on whether this matter should be reconsidered en banc. The briefs should
be filed on or before 11:00 a.m., Pacific time, on Thursday, February 16. The
supplemental briefs shall be filed electronically and consist of no more than 14,000
words. See General Order 5.4(c)(3).
Really, who needs 14,000 words to say those three partisan hacks screwed the pooch, so the en banc crew should correct their mistake post haste, because...the law.
The supplemental briefs shall be filed electronically and consist of no more than 14,000 words.

What if it takes 14,001 words to correctly state a position?
