In accordance with customary practice, the panel opinion [769 F.3d 32] released on October 6, 2014 is withdrawn, and the judgment entered on the same date is vacated. ... The parties have filed briefs and the en banc court will have copies of those briefs.

We therefore affirm the district court’s grant of habeas corpus relief in each case." - Castañeda v. Souza, Oct. 6, 2014.
