FILED United States Court of Appeals PUBLISH Tenth Circuit UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS April 19, 2018 Elisabeth A. Shumaker FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT Clerk of Court _________________________________ CARL GENBERG, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. No. 16-1368 (D.C. No. 1:11-CV-02434-WYD-MEH) STEVEN S. PORTER, (D. Colo.) Defendant - Appellee, and JEFFREY SPERBER; AL BAUTISTA; CHERYL HOFFMAN-BRAY; MICHELE DARNAUD; PHILIPPE GASTONE, Defendants. ------------------------------ NATIONAL WHISTLEBLOWER CENTER, Amicus Curiae. _________________________________ ORDER _________________________________ Before HARTZ, HOLMES, and BACHARACH, Circuit Judges. _________________________________ This matter is before the court on the Petition of Steven S. Porter for Panel Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc. We also have a response from the appellant and Mr. Porter’s reply. Upon consideration, we grant panel rehearing only to clarify that the prior opinion addressed only the award of summary judgment to the defendant. The Court did not address, one way or another, whether the defendant can present the same-action defense in the district court's further proceedings. In light of this limited grant and clarification, and noting the request for en banc consideration was dependent on it, that part of the petition seeking en banc review is denied as moot.
