RE: Deb Whitewood v. Secretary PA Dept Health Case Number: 14-3048 District Case Number: 1-13-cv-01861
ENTRY OF JUDGMENT Today, July 03, 2014 the Court issued a case dispositive order in the above-captioned matter which serves as this Court's judgment. Fed. R. App. P. 36. Case: 14-3048 Document: 003111670022 Page: 3 Date Filed: 07/03/2014
If you wish to seek review of the Court's decision, you may file a petition for rehearing. The procedures for filing a petition for rehearing are set forth in Fed. R. App. P. 35 and 40, 3rd Cir. LAR 35 and 40, and summarized below. Time for Filing: 14 days after entry of judgment 45 days after entry of judgment in a civil case if the United States is a party Page Limits: 15 pages
Attachments: A copy of the panel's dispositive order only. No other attachments are permitted without first obtaining leave from the Court. Unless the petition specifies that the petition seeks only panel rehearing, the petition will be construed as requesting both panel and en banc rehearing. If separate petitions for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc are submitted, they will be treated as a single document and will be subject to a combined 15 page limit. If only panel rehearing is sought, the Court's rules do not provide for the subsequent filing of a petition for rehearing en banc in the event that the petition seeking only panel rehearing is denied. Please consult the Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States regarding the timing and requirements for filing a petition for writ of certiorari. Very truly yours,
Marcia M. Waldron, Clerk
