ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM:
This is a petition for a rehearing of the Court’s decision in In re Louisiana Loan and Thrift Corp., Holahan v. Reynolds, 5 Cir., 1969, 416 F.2d 898 [August 27, 1969], The petition is denied.
The petition points out that we misstated the appellant’s contentions by reporting that:
“The attorney Holahan contends that a proceeding under Section 60(d) relates to the reasonable value of legal services rendered by the debtor’s attorney both before and after the filing of a petition in bankruptcy, and that the referee committed error by not determining the reasonable value of the legal services he had rendered to the Louisiana Loan and Thrift Corporation up to the date of the Section 60(d) proceeding.” (Emphasis supplied.)
It is the petitioner’s position that the Section 60(d) proceedings should determine the reasonable value of all services to be rendered, including the services that remain necessary after the Section 60(d) hearing is had. This slight mis*902statement of the appellant’s contention, however, in no way affected the outcome of the decision in light of our holding that Section 60(d) relates only to the reasonable value of the legal services rendered to the debtor prior to the filing of a petition in bankruptcy.
The appellant never contended that the valuation by the referee of legal services rendered to the debtor prior to filing was clearly erroneous, and thus it will do him no good to argue in his petition for rehearing that he would have made such a contention had he known the Court would decide as it did.
The Court in no way misapprehended the nature of appellant’s contentions. The petition for rehearing is
Denied.
