Cottier v. City of Martin En Banc Materials

As Indianz reported, the Eighth Circuit sitting en banc reversed a decision favoring the Indian plaintiffs in a Section 2 vote dilution case. Of note, the en banc panel reversed the decision of a prior panel establishing the law of the case, and allowed the City to file a late petition for en banc review. Where is the rule of law?

Here are the en banc materials. The merits briefs are here.
