  En banc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
En banc or in bank is a term used to refer to the hearing of a case by all the judges of a court.
Appellate courts in the United States sometimes grant rehearing en banc to reconsider a decision of a panel of the court, where the case concerns a matter of exceptional public importance or the panel's decision appears to conflict with a prior decision of the court.
Very rarely, a trial court may hear a matter en banc if, for example, uniformity of decisions on a recurring matter is important and unusual circumstances prevent appellate review.

 Howard J. Bashman - Pennsylvania Appellate Boutique
Appeals heard "en banc" are considered by the full membership of a court (or, in the Ninth Circuit, by an eleven-judge panel), rather than by a panel consisting of three judges.
En banc courts "are convened only when extraordinary circumstances exist that call for authoritative consideration and decision by those charged with the administration and development of the law of the circuit." United States v.
Given the singularly important role that en banc courts fulfill in the federal appellate process, it is unfortunate that the procedure for determining whether to take an appeal en banc is the subject of a contentious circuit split.

 En Banc Decision   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
A sua sponte request to consider en banc whether to recall the mandate was made shortly thereafter, even before the mandate was spread in the district court.
A majority of the active judges of this circuit has voted to rehear en banc the panel's refusal to recall the mandate, and this en banc court has now determined that it shall be recalled.
First, Judge Kozinski's conclusion that the en banc process is not available when the objective is to correct specific constitutional errors that will result in the execution of a person who cannot lawfully be executed misses the point not only of our en banc process but of our justice system as a whole.

 Definition: En Banc.
Sometimes, on the request of the panel, or one of the litigants, the case is later reheard by the full court, or, en banc.
A suggestion for a rehearing in banc must be made within the time prescribed by Rule 40 for filing a petition for rehearing, whether the suggestion is made in such a petition or otherwise.
The pendency of such a suggestion whether or not included in a petition for rehearing shall not affect the finality of the judgment of the court of appeals or stay the issuance of the mandate.

A reason for this practice is that a grant of rehearing en banc almost invariably results in a new decision, whether the outcome differs from or duplicates the result reached by the panel.
This gives the en banc court the benefit of the knowledge and judgment of all of the judges of this circuit who sat on the panel that rendered the initial decision.
The convening of this en banc court is unfortunate, for it conducts its deliberations under the pall of two weighty errors, one of judgment and the other of law.

Solimine, examining en banc decisions across all circuits in the years 1985-1987, concluded that the data did not “…support the charge that the Reagan-appointed judges are using the en banc procedure as an ideological tool” (1988, 63).
The occurrence of en bancs might be affected both by variation in the ideological diversity of a circuit and shifts in its ideological regime.
En bancs were more likely to occur with increases in caseload and the corresponding increase in cases meeting the threshold of importance.

 THOMPSON V. CALDERON 9599015, 95-99014 (08-08-97)
On the ques- tion whether an en banc call could be made, the authoring judge stated as follows: On Monday, March 17, 1997, I sent you copies of papers from my file that demonstrate that you both had adequate notice of the panel's intent to amend the opinion and a 5.4(b) notice.
Neither argued at the time that they should be allowed to make a belated en banc call because of excusable neglect.2/ Neither judge notified the full court that he felt aggrieved by the panel's unwillingness to waive the dead- line as a matter of comity.
But maybe Judges X and/or Y were not aware of the possibility they could call for en banc review on the basis of the amended opinion, and were misled by the failure of the panel and the en banc coordinator to offer them this alternative.

The Third Circuit's internal rules provide that rehearing en banc will be ordered "[i]f a majority of the active judges of the court who are not disqualified, provided that the judges who are not disqualified constitute a majority of the judges who are in regular active service, votes for rehearing en banc." 3d Cir.
Cases are reheard en banc in the Third Circuit for a variety of reasons, and the twelve active judges currently serving on that court do not share an entirely uniform view of the reasons why an appeal should be reheard en banc.
Typically, a case will not be voted en banc before the panel's opinion issues unless the panel's decision contains a dissent or explains that the panel wishes to reach a result in conflict with an earlier Third Circuit decision that the panel views as incorrectly decided.

The court as a whole votes on whether the case is to be taken en banc, and this vote can be triggered either at the request of one of the parties or if one of the active judges wishes to have the whole court consider it.
The en banc court consists of 11 judges, of which the chief judge (that's Mary Schroeder at present) is always one.

Proponents of the absolute-majority approach focus on the goals of en banc review, which are to allow a majority of the circuit to control, and secure uniformity, in the court's decisions.
Under this approach, the vote required to hear a case en banc is determined solely on the number of judges who are eligible to participate in the particular case.
For, in the first example, a case that obtained the votes of five of the circuit's judges could never be considered en banc, while in the second example, a case that garnered the votes of only four judges could be heard en banc.

Cases are reheard en banc in the Third Circuit for a variety of reasons, and the active judges serving on that court do not share an entirely uniform view of the reasons why an appeal should be reheard en banc.
Last year's en banc round-up included a case in which the Third Circuit had granted en banc review to consider whether to adhere to a ruling that, according to most every other federal appellate court to have decided the issue, had reached the wrong result.
Indeed, rehearing en banc was granted so recently in the second of the two cases that the Third Circuit has yet to schedule a date for en banc argument in that case.

When a case is heard or reheard en banc, the en banc court assumes jurisdiction over the entire case, see 28 U.S.C. § 46(c), regardless of the issue or issues that may have caused any member of the Court to vote to hear the case en banc.
The original en banc opinion affirmed the grant of a habeas writ as to the penalty phase of a capital trial; denied the writ as to the guilt phase.
Original en banc opinion: The jury instructions regarding “factor (k),” the catch-all factor in California’s death penalty statute, and the prosecutor’s erroneous argument led the jurors to believe that they were not permitted to consider the petitioner’s mitigating evidence regarding post-crime rehabilitation and thus rendered the penalty phase fundamentally unfair.

The vote to take en banc the panel's manifestly correct determination that the mandate in this case is not subject to recall amounts to seizing in our judicial mouths not only the bit, but also the rules, the due process, and our General Orders that govern our handling of appeals.
A majority of the active judges of the court have authorized an en banc court to reconsider an order denying the motion to recall the mandate which issued from this court on June 11, 1997.
If the en banc court limits the scope of its reconsideration to recall the mandate and, in fact, recalls the mandate, such an order will have several consequences.

(5) Indeed, this court's decision to hear the present case en banc was motivated by the concerns related to the composition of the hearing panel.
The reasons stated for initial hearing en banc were the "exceptional importance" of the case, the "inevitable conflict" with another federal circuit's opinion in view of the already conflicting decisions of the Fifth Circuit in Hopwood v.
In fact, the dissenters themselves did not raise any complaints with the composition of the en banc court when the en banc petition was circulated, when the case was argued before the en banc court, or even in the first circulated draft of Judge Boggs's dissent.

Conceivably, after an en banc rehearing the panel result, its reasoning, and even its dicta, might be embraced by a majority of the en banc court.
There are many things which a "yea" vote on an en banc poll is not: It is not necessarily a vote against the analysis; it is not necessarily a vote against the result; it is not necessarily a vote against a panel opinion or in favor of a special concurrence or a dissent.
We cannot but note that a majority that a majority of our active judges voted Walton en banc to correct the majority's erroneous interpretation of Supreme Court precedent regarding an issue that was not necessary for the resolution of the case.

The panel held that, although computer code is "speech" within the meaning of the First Amendment, it is subject to greater regulation than other speech because of its "functional capability" to be executed by a computer as well as read by a human eye.
This Court should review the panel's linking ruling en banc to make clear that free speech principles turn not upon newly minted distinctions between pen-and-ink and point-and-click, but rather upon time-honored distinctions between intentional aiding and abetting of unlawful conduct and speech that at most can be construed as making such conduct easier to commit.
For all of the foregoing reasons, and the reasons set forth in his briefs and supplemental briefs below, Appellant respectfully requests that the decision of the panel in this case be reheard en banc.
