1Opinion of the Court

LIVELY, Circuit Judge.

By a per curiam opinion filed January 24, 1980, a panel of this court affirmed the judgment of the district court dismissing Wright’s action. Wright v. Tennessee, 613 F.2d 647 (6th Cir. 1980). Thereafter this court granted Wright’s petition for rehearing and the appeal was reheard by the court en banc. The effect of the order granting rehearing en banc was to vacate the panel opinion and judgment of affirmance and to stay the mandate. Rule 14, Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon rehearing, the court concludes that the judgment of the district court must be reversed.
