Heading: motion for rehearing and remaining issues

Text: ¶ 29. James argues that when the Court of Appeals substituted its modified opinion on September 26, 2000, it in fact issued a new opinion and he should have been allowed to file a motion for rehearing. This argument is without merit. The only change in the modified opinion was the conclusion. The holdings of the Court of Appeals regarding all of James' assignments of error remained unchanged. Accordingly, the deadline to seek rehearing of those holdings was April 25, 2000. Although James responded to the State's motion for rehearing, he failed to timely file his own motion regarding the James I opinion. M.R.A.P. 40 does not require clarification. Because James failed to timely file a motion for rehearing following the Court of Appeals's April 11, 2000 opinion, all of the remaining issues are procedurally barred.
