A Petition for Rehearing En Banc Deadline Order With A Foxy Twist From the Fifth Circuit

Fifth Circuit have uploaded the May 17, 2021 document as “proposed sufficient petition for rehearing en banc” to the April 13, 2021 event.

LIT COMMENTARY

JULY 7, 2021

If you’ve not been following the Burkes’ petition for rehearing en banc, we now summarize  from the article update on June 21, 2021 wherein the Fifth Circuit’s New Bias 3-Panel, including the Chief of Mischief Judge Priscilla Owen, denied the Burkes motion for reconsideration.

The Burkes filed two new motions. The first, a motion to stay the case (June 28, 2021) in light of the US Supreme Court decision in Yellen and related cases pending at the 5th Circuit, and more recently a motion to disqualify Chief Judge Priscilla Owen and her hand-picked panel.

The recusal motion was originally filed on July 1, 2021 but rejected due to an incorrect event allocation on Friday afternoon (2 July). The Burkes refiled on 3 July and clerk acceptance at the 5th Circuit is still pending at time of publishing this article.

The Burkes also sought relief by requesting that the opinion dated 30 March 2021 was void and that the case should be reviewed and decided by a new 3-panel, outwith the Fifth Circuit e.g. by another Circuit, with the exception of the Eleventh Circuit.

On Tuesday, June 29, 2021 the Fifth Circuit issued the following letter with enclosures, all backdated to April 13, 2021….

No. 19-20267   Burke v. Ocwen Loan Servicing

USDC No. 4:18-CV-4544

Dear Ms. Burke, Mr. Burke,

The following pertains to your rehearing electronically filed on April 13, 2021.

As we have been unable to determine if the proposed petition for rehearing en banc was sent by email or not, we have uploaded the May 17, 2021 document as “proposed sufficient petition for rehearing en banc” to the April 13, 2021 event.

However, the proposed rehearing remains insufficient as it still does not include a copy of the court’s opinion, see 5th Cir. R. 40.1 and 5th Cir. R. 35.2.10.

We have updated the deadline for returning the sufficient rehearing en banc to July 9, 2021.

As previously instructed, once you have prepared your sufficient rehearing, you must email it to: Jann_Wynne@ca5.uscourts.gov for review.

If the rehearing is in compliance, you will receive a notice of docket activity advising you that the sufficient rehearing has been filed. Please title the document “Sufficient Petition for Rehearing En Banc”.

Sincerely,

LYLE W. CAYCE, Clerk
