On Application for Rehearing
This Court, on October 20, 2000, without an opinion, affirmed the judgment of the circuit court. That action will be reported on a list of decisions without opinions. See Rule 53(c), Ala.R.App.P. The appellant has applied for a rehearing; the application is overruled.
APPLICATION OVERRULED.
On original submission this case was assigned to and decided by the Houston Division rather than the Maddox Division which I then occupied. The application for rehearing is simply an earnest reiteration of the appellant's original brief. The application for rehearing presents no new factual or legal insight. While I express no opinion on the correctness of the original decision, I concur to overrule the application for rehearing because I doubt the wisdom of revisiting a decision on rehearing for no better reason than the possibly different views of a different set of Justices reviewing the same case on the same legal and factual arguments.
