Before: PREGERSON and KOZINSKI, Circuit Judges, and RHOADES, SR.,*  District Judge.

Slip op. at 2264 [399 F.3d at 1075], Lines 4-9:

The judgment of the district court is vacated, and the case is remanded with instructions that the petition be dismissed."

with

"Because Jackson did not demonstrate that he had standing to challenge the state court's jurisdiction to order his confinement, the district court lacked jurisdiction to consider his habeas petition. However, Jackson's failure to allege facts to support his standing may well have resulted from the fact that respondents did not contest standing in the district court. In view of Jackson's claims on appeal regarding the circumstances of his voluntary confinement, see note 6 supra, and without deciding whether such claims are sufficient to support standing, we remand for the district court to determine, after permitting the parties to address the issue, whether Jackson has standing to bring this challenge. See United Union of Roofers No. 40 v. Ins. Corp. of Am., 919 F.2d 1398, 1402-03 (9th Cir. 1990); City of Kenosha v. Bruno, 412 U.S. 507, 514, 93 S. Ct. 2222, 37 L. Ed. 2d 109 (1973)."

The petition for rehearing is otherwise DENIED. See Fed. R. App. P. 40. The petition for rehearing en banc is DENIED. See Fed. R. App. P. 35. No further petitions for rehearing or rehearing en banc will be accepted. The mandate shall issue forthwith.

The Honorable John S. Rhoades, Sr., Senior United States District Judge for the Southern District of California, sitting by designation
