Heading: propriety of re-examination of dismissal order

Text: ¶ 8 In LCR, INC. v. Linwood Properties, 1996 OK 73, ¶ 4, 918 P.2d 1388, this Court defined the parameters for reconsideration of Supreme Court pre-assignment dismissal orders. The extent of re-examination of such an order is subject to its language. Id. A motion to dismiss which is denied  with prejudice to renewal may not be relitigated in either this Court or the Court of Civil Appeals. Id. at ¶ 5. A motion to dismiss which is denied expressly without prejudice to renewal may be re-examined sua sponte in this Court or the Court of Civil Appeals. Id. ¶ 9 If an order denying a motion to dismiss is silent as to its prejudicial effect, it may not be altered by the Court of Civil Appeals. Id. at ¶ 6. If the Court of Civil Appeals deems an order of this Court which is silent as to its renewability in need of reconsideration, it should request the case be recalled. Id. An order which is silent as to its prejudicial effect may be reconsidered by this Court either on certiorari or otherwise. Id. at ¶ 7. This Court's pre-assignment order denying the motion to dismiss is silent with respect to its prejudicial effect. Thus, the Court of Civil Appeals correctly reasoned that it was bound by the order. However, it is subject to reconsideration by this Court.
