(c)
Motion for Full Court Decision. Subject to the requirements of subsections (d), (e), and (f), a party may move for a decision by the full Court—
(1)
in the first instance, or
(2)
after a panel has decided a case, or
(3)
after a panel has denied a motion for a panel decision or for reconsideration.
A motion for a decision by the full Court in a case decided only by a single judge is not permitted. Motions for a full-Court decision are not favored. Ordinarily they will not be granted unless such action is necessary to secure or maintain uniformity of the Court’s decisions or to resolve a question of exceptional importance.
