Opinion

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR REHEARING EN. BANC AND AMENDING OPINION The panel has voted to deny the petition for rehearing, and Judges Browning and Beezer have voted to reject the suggestion for a rehearing en banc.

The full court has been advised of the suggestion for an en banc hearing, and no judge of the court has requested a vote on it. Fed.R.App.P. 35(b).

The petition for rehearing is denied and the suggestion for a rehearing en banc is rejected.

The opinion filed on January 13, 1987, 807 F.2d 1502 (9th Cir.), is amended as follows:

Page 1505, first column, line 23:

Correct to read administrative law judges and the Appeals Council.

• Page 1506, first column, line 5, insert: Furthermore, the effect of the program on the Appeals Council’s impartiality militates against reinstating their decisions. See Barry v. Heckler, 620 F.Supp. 779, 782 (N.D.Cal.1985).

Change the next sentence to read:

We agree with the district court that the ALJ’s decisions must be reinstated and the claimants provided disability benefits.
