  • ORDER

    PER CURIAM.

    The en banc court is equally divided in this case. Eight members of the courtp] favor affirmance of the district court and join in Judge Moore’s concurring opinion (pp. 326-336). Seven members of the court[2] agree with Judge Kennedy’s dissent (pp. 336-338) and would reverse; Judge Ryan, writing separately (p. 338), would also reverse; Judge Wellford would reverse for the reasons stated in his separate opinion (pp. 338-340) as well as those stated in the opinions of Judges Kennedy and Ryan. Hence, as is customary under such circumstances, the appellant’s conviction and sentence are affirmed by an equally divided vote.

    . Judges Merritt, Kennedy, Wellford, Nelson, Norris, Suhrheinrich, and Batchelder.
