April 09, 191999

*    *    *



Before: Wald, Williams, and Henderson, Circuit Judges.

O R D E R

It is ORDERED by the court that the opinion filed by the court on February 9, 1999 be amended as follows:

Page 17, lines 10-12: Delete the following sentence "Such a prosecutor would not be acting as the United States because an ultra vires act implicates no sovereign interest."

Page 17, footnote 13: Add at the end of the footnote: "That section 201(b)(3) applies to federal prosecutors while section 201(c)(2) does not, despite the similarities between the two sections, follows from Nardone; the Government has no recognized interest in paying a witness to give untruthful testimony and no absurdity would result in punishing a prosecutor who offers a witness money or any other thing of value to obtain untruthful testimony."
