ORDER

1

Gary Penrod, the Sheriff of San Bernardino County, California, appeals from the district court's order granting a writ of habeas corpus to Robert Lee Griffin. The district court had jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. We have jurisdiction over this timely appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1291 and 2253. We withdrew submission pending en banc review of the case cited below. We now submit this appeal for decision. For the reasons stated in Santamaria v. Horsley, No. 95-16991, slip op. 493 (9th Cir. Jan. 16, 1998) (en banc), we reverse.
