`ORDER
`(SUMMARY OF GROUNDS REMAINING)
`
`On October 25, 2012, we denied a plurality of the grounds asserted by
`
`
`
`Petitioner and also required Petitioner to select from among what we regarded as
`
`redundant grounds. Petitioner made the required selection but requested rehearing
`
`of our order requiring selection. That rehearing request has been denied.
`
`
`
`Some of the non-selected grounds were already denied on the merits on
`
`October 25, 2012. It is
