v.

WILLIAM MICHAEL STRUBE,
also known as Mike Strube,

       Appellant in No. 98-7497

Before: GREENBERG and ALITO, Circuit Judges,
and DOWD,* District Judge

ORDER AMENDING SLIP OPINION

The slip opinion filed October 1, 1999, in the above case
is amended as follows:

       1. The last sentence in the first complete paragraph on
       page 8 is amended to read as follows:

       The court refused to overturn Wilson's conviction
       because there was no evidence to support the
_________________________________________________________________

* Honorable David D. Dowd, Jr., Senior Judge of the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, sitting by designation.
       conclusion that his reliance on public authority was
       objectively reasonable.6

       The footnote remains as originally published.

       2. The last two sentences of the incomplete paragraph
       at the top of page 9 which carries over from page 8 is
       amended to read as follows:

       Just as for actual public authority, the enactment of
       Rule 12.3 did not alter the defense of apparent
       public authority. Therefore, the law in jurisdictions
       where actual authority was required was not altered. 7

       The footnote remains as originally published.

       By the Court:

       /s/ David O. Dowd, Jr.
           U.S. District Judge
