in Farmers Co‑op v. State.1 We overrule the motion, but we
modify the original opinion as follows:
   (1) We withdraw the last two sentences in the paragraph
preceding the subheading “(b) Frontier’s Refund Claims”
and substitute the following: “Farmers appealed the Tax
Commissioner’s decision to the district court for Lancaster
County.”2
   (2) We withdraw the last two sentences in the paragraph
preceding the subheading “(c) District Court’s Decisions”
and substitute the following: “Frontier appealed the Tax
Commissioner’s decision to the district court for Lancaster
County.”3
   (3) We withdraw the second to the last sentence in the
second paragraph under the subheading “3. The Cooperatives
Failed to Establish They Were Entitled to R efund of Taxes
Denied by Tax Commissioner” and substitute the following:
“Neither of the Cooperatives requested a formal hearing from
the Department prior to the Tax Commissioner taking action
on their refund claims, so no additional evidence was devel-
oped on the record regarding the denied claims.”4 And we
withdraw the last sentence of that same paragraph, which
stated, “Further, the Cooperatives did not submit any addi-
tional evidence to the district court on its appeal.”5
   The remainder of the opinion shall remain unmodified.
	                             Former opinion modified.
	Motion for rehearing overruled.
