The opinion

SACK and KATZMANN, Circuit Judges, concurring in the denial of rehearing in banc:

We concur in the Court’s decision to deny rehearing in banc because we think it would likely be unproductive. We note, however, our view that the Court should have remanded to the district court allowing the plaintiffs to amend their complaint in light of the panel’s clarifying language with respect to the Equal Protection Clause in its amended opinion.
