1Opinion of the Court
HULL, Circuit Judge:
This appeal presents the question of whether the requirements in 11 U.S.C. § 303(b) for commencing an involuntary bankruptcy petition are elements of subject matter jurisdiction. We granted rehearing en banc to reexamine the issue. After review and en banc briefing, we conclude that § 303(b)’s requirements are not subject matter jurisdictional in nature and therefore can be waived.
