Opinion
No. 10-5014.
Filed On: September 13, 2011.
Before: ROGERS, TATEL, and KAVANAUGH, Circuit Judges.
ORDER
Upon consideration of appellant's petition for rehearing and the response thereto, it is
ORDERED that the petition be granted. This case is scheduled for oral argument before the above-named panel at 9:30 a.m. on December 7, 2011. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the judgment filed June 3, 2011, be vacated. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that briefing be limited to the following issues:
(1) Does Egan's bar on judicial review of national security clearance decisions extend to actions by employees outside of the Security Division?
(2) If Egan's bar does not extend to decisions by employees outside the Security Division, would allowing Title VII retaliation claims against such employees chill their reporting of information involving suspicion of national security concerns to the Security Division pursuant to Executive Order 12,968? If so, why? Would departmental complaint procedures not also chill such reporting?
(3) If the court were to allow Title VII retaliation claims based on referrals of knowingly false information, does any record evidence in this case support such a claim? If not, should a remand be ordered?
It is
FURTHER ORDERED that the following briefing format and schedule apply in this case:
