The Clerk shall forward a motion for reconsideration en banc of a motion previously considered by a motions or oral screening panel to the appropriate staff attorney for processing. If the motion was decided by published order or opinion, the motion will be circulated to all active judges. In cases involving judgments of death, the Clerk shall forward all motions for reconsideration en banc to Associates.

The motion shall be referred by the staff attorney to the panel which entered the order in issue.
