On October 18, 2012, the panel issued an opinion in the above-captioned matter. In the caption of that opinion, my name is listed as counsel for amici curiae Family Law Professors in Support of Plaintiff-Appellee. Dkt. No. 441-1 at 5. There appears to be a typographical error in the spelling of name, which is listed as Demitri D. Portnoi. The correct spelling of my name is Dimitri D. Portnoi. The correct spelling of my name appears on the docket and on the caption of the amicus brief. On the date the opinion issued, I spoke via telephone with case manager Anna Steglich, who advised me to submit the instant letter requesting that the error be corrected in any amended opinion and/or in the publication of the opinion. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely,

/s/ Dimitri D. Portnoi
