Robert Bean, Franklin Shaffer, David Autry, Mack Roberts, v. Ned Ray McWherter, Governor of the State of Tennessee, et al.

Case Number
M1999-01493-COA-R3-CV

The appellants have asked the court to rehear this appeal because we did not address the facial conflict between the definitions of Class II and Class III wildlife, leaving the public without any guidance as to what species are in Class II. Since the possession of Class II wildlife without a permit is a crime, and no permit is required for the possession of those species in Class III, the determination of what is included in Class II is the critical determination. And a person of ordinary intelligence must be able to make it. State v. Thomas, 635 S.W.2d 114 (Tenn. 1982).
