SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION
Per Curiam.
Cases Nos. S-16-312 and S-16-313 are before this court on the appellees' motion for rehearing concerning our opinion in Farmers Co-op v. State . We overrule the motion, but we modify the original opinion as follows:
Farmers Co-op v. State, 296 Neb. 347, 893 N.W.2d 728 (2017).
(1) We withdraw the last two sentences in the paragraph preceding the subheading "(b) Frontier's Refund Claims" and substitute the following: "Farmers appealed the Tax Commissioner's decision to the district court for Lancaster County."
Id. at 351, 893 N.W.2d at 733.
(2) We withdraw the last two sentences in the paragraph preceding the subheading "(c) District Court's Decisions" and substitute the following: "Frontier appealed the Tax Commissioner's decision to the district court for Lancaster County."
Id. at 352, 893 N.W.2d at 734.
(3) We withdraw the second to the last sentence in the second paragraph under the subheading "3. THE COOPERATIVES FAILED TO ESTABLISH THEY WERE ENTITLED TO REFUND OF TAXES DENIED BY TAX COMMISSIONER " and substitute the following: "Neither of the Cooperatives requested a formal hearing from the Department prior to the Tax Commissioner taking action on their refund claims, so no additional evidence was developed on the record regarding the denied claims." And we withdraw the last sentence of that same paragraph, which stated, "Further, the Cooperatives did not submit any additional evidence to the district court on its appeal."
Id. at 364, 893 N.W.2d at 740.
