Rule 4-9 Rehearing

If you want a court of appeal to reconsider its decision on a writ application, the same rules that apply to regular rehearing requests will also apply here. In other words, there's no separate or different process just because your case involves a writ application instead of a standard appeal.

This means you need to look at Rule 2-18 to understand the specific requirements, such as deadlines, page limits, and what your request must include. Following those same standards will tell you how to properly ask the court to take another look at its ruling.

The main point is that Louisiana courts treat rehearing requests the same way whether they come from a regular appeal or a writ application. You don't need to guess at different rules or procedures. Just follow what Rule 2-18 already lays out.
