The panel opinion of June 4, 1982, 678 F.2d 844, shall be amended as follows:

Delete from page 846, first column, lines 11-14: "Moreover, more than 7 years had elapsed between filing of the discrimination complaint and this court's review of the case. Id.4 These extraordinary circumstances are not duplicated in the instant case.". Also, delete the text of footnote 4.

Insert in its stead: "These circumstances are not duplicated in the instant case."Delete from page 846, first column, lines 28-33: "Further, there is no suggestion here of prejudicial delay. On these facts, we find the decision in Cleveland [v. Douglas Aircraft Co., 509 F.2d 1027 (9th Cir. 1975) ], involving unauthorized Commission action and extraordinary delay, not controlling in the instant case."

Insert in its stead: "On these facts, we find the decision in Cleveland, involving Commission action unauthorized by regulation or statute, not controlling in the instant case."
