Grounds for Rehearing
Although petitions for rehearing are filed in a great many cases, few are granted. Filing a petition solely for purposes of delay or in order merely to reargue the case is an abuse of the privilege. A petition for rehearing must contain an introduction stating that, in counsel's judgment, one or more of the following situations exist:
1.
a material factual or legal matter was overlooked in the decision;
2.
a change in the law occurred after the case was submitted and was overlooked by the panel;
3.
the opinion is in conflict with a decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, this court, or another court of appeals and the conflict is not addressed in the opinion; or
4.
the proceeding involves one or more questions of exceptional importance.
The petition must state with particularity the points of law or fact that the petitioner believes the court has overlooked or misapprehended and must argue in support of the petition. Fed. R. App. P. 40; Loc. R. 40(a) & (b
