UPON A REHEARING EN BANC
Opinion
In Jones v. Commonwealth, 16 Va. App. 354, 429 S.E.2d 615 (1993), a majority of a panel of this Court reversed the judgment of the trial court as it pertained to Case No. CR91002806-02. Appellee’s petition for rehearing en banc was granted and argued on September 10, 1993. Upon consideration whereof, we reverse the judgment of the trial court for those reasons set forth in the panel’s majority opinion. Accordingly, the stay of this Court’s May 11, 1993 mandate is lifted, and the mandate is reinstated.
Chief Judge Moon, Judges Baker and Elder would affirm the judgment of the trial court for those reasons set forth in the dissenting opinion of the panel’s decision.
It is ordered that the trial court allow court-appointed counsel for the appellant an additional $200 for services rendered on the rehearing portion of this appeal, in addition to counsel’s costs and necessary direct out-of-pocket expenses.
