OF PITTSBURG, INC.,

Plaintiff-Appellant,		
v.	No. 03-3134	
PEPSICO, INC.; BOTTLING GROUP, LLC, 

Defendants-Appellees,
		
A.D. HUESING BOTTLING WORKS, INC., et al.

	ORDER*

Before HENRY, BRISCOE, and HARTZ, Circuit Judges.

	Bottling Group, LLC (Bottling Group) has filed a petition for panel rehearing, and Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Pittsburg, Inc. (Pittsburg Pepsi) has responded.

	We grant the petition in part and strike the sentence on page 34 of the Opinion filed in this case on December 20, 2005, which states (quoting from PulseCard, Inc. v. Discover Card Servs., Inc., 917 F. Supp. 1488, 1498 (D. Kan. 1996)) “Tortious interference with a prospective business relationship requires some type of communication between the defendant and the third party in which the defendant induces the third party not to engage in a prospective contract or business relation with the plaintiff.”  Pittsburg Pepsi correctly asserts that this “communication” requirement is not a required element of tortious interference under Kansas law.
	The petition for rehearing in all other regards is denied.  A copy of the amended Opinion is attached to this order.
