Rule 31 Petition for Rehearing.

(a) Time for Filing; Content; Answer; Action By Court If Granted. A petition for rehearing may be filed within 14 days after entry of judgment. The petition shall state with particularity the points of law or fact which, in the opinion of the petitioner, the Supreme Court has overlooked or misapprehended and shall contain such argument in support of the petition as the petitioner desires to present. Oral argument in support of the petition will not be permitted. No answer to a petition for rehearing will be received unless requested by the Supreme Court, but a petition for rehearing will ordinarily not be granted in the absence of such a request. If a petition for rehearing is granted, the Supreme Court may make a final disposition of the cause without re-argument or may restore the matter to the calendar for re-argument or resubmission, or may make such other orders as are deemed appropriate under the circumstances of the particular case.

(b) Form of Petition; Number of Copies. The petition shall not exceed 3,900 words in length, double- spaced, and pursuant to Rule 40.3(h), no paper copies of electronically filed petitions need be filed with the Court. If a party is exempt from electronic filing, or if electronic filing has been disallowed, seven copies shall be filed with the Supreme Court. All remaining parties shall be served in accordance with these Rules.
