Honda's motion for taxation of costs against Continental is GRANTED.

4

The motion of the Dorseys to strike the petition for rehearing en banc filed by Honda is DENIED.

5

No member of this panel nor Judge in regular active service on the Court having requested that the Court be polled on rehearing en banc (Rule 35, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure; Local Fifth Circuit Rule 16), the Petition for Rehearing En Banc filed by Honda is DENIED.

6

The motion of Honda for stay of the issuance of the mandate pending petition for writ of certiorari is DENIED.
