(a) Number. Any party allowed to file pleadings in paper format must submit an original petition for rehearing; no copies are required.

(b) Treated as Petition for Rehearing En Banc. On the request of any judge on the panel, a petition for rehearing by a panel will be treated as a petition for rehearing en banc. Every petition for rehearing en banc, however, will automatically be deemed to include a petition for rehearing by the panel.

(c) Successive Petitions. Successive petitions for rehearing are not allowed. The clerk will accept for filing only one petition for rehearing from any party to an appeal and will not accept any motion to reconsider the court's ruling on a petition for rehearing or rehearing en banc.
