Haas v. Rathburn, 19803

Decision Date29 April 1965
Docket NumberNo. 2,No. 19803,19803,2
PartiesFrank HAAS and Martha Haas, Appellants, v. Russell RATHBURN and Ruth Rathburn, Appellees
CourtIndiana Appellate Court

[137 INDAPP 172] Virgil J. McCarty, Thomas J. O'Connor, Brookville, for appellants.

Cecil C. Tague, Sr., Roger H. Smith, Brookville, for appellees.

[137 INDAPP 176] SMITH, Judge.

The appellees have filed their petition for rehearing consisting of five (5) specifications. The appellants filed their motion to dismiss said rehearing petition on the ground that the petition does not comply with the provision of Rule 2-22 of the Rules of the Supreme Court that:

[137 INDAPP 177] 'Application for a rehearing of any cause shall be made by petition, separate from the briefs * * * stating concisely the reasons why the decision is thought to be erroneous.' (emphasis supplied)

In Automobile Underwriters Inc. v. Smith (1961), 241 Ind. 302, 171 N.E.2d 823, the Supreme Court said:

'Under the above rule, alleged errors in the opinion, which are assigned as cause or grounds for rehearing, must be supported by a statement which concisely states 'the reasons why the decision is thought to be erroneous.' Rule 2-22. The rule contemplates that, in this manner, the court shall be aided in its consideration of the petition. Consistent with the purpose of the rule, alleged errors in the opinion, not supported by a concise statement of the reasons in support thereof, are considered waived * * *.' (emphasis supplied)

Since the appellee has not stated any concise reasons by which 'the court shall be aided in its consideration of the petition' (Automobile Underwriters, Inc., v. Smith, supra) we are forced to hold that appellees' petition for rehearing does not comply with Rule 2-22 and presents no ground for a rehearing. The appellants' motion to dismiss appellees' petition for rehearing is granted.

Petition for Rehearing dismissed.

BIERLY, P. J., and HUNTER and MOTE, JJ., concur.
