The Third Circuit today granted en banc rehearing in US v. Jermel Lewis, a September split-panel decision in which the majority held that failure to submit to a jury facts increasing a mandatory-minimum sentence was harmless error. Fisher wrote the panel majority opinion, joined by Chagares, and Rendell wrote the panel dissent. Rehearing is set for February 19.
