(1) Purpose
    A. Panel Rehearing:
       • A party should seek panel rehearing only if one or more of the following
         grounds exist:
              A material point of fact or law was overlooked in the decision;
              A change in the law occurred after the case was submitted which
               appears to have been overlooked by the panel; or
              An apparent conflict with another decision of the Court was not
               addressed in the opinion.
       • Do not file a petition for panel rehearing merely to reargue the case.

    B. Rehearing En Banc
       • A party should seek en banc rehearing only if one or more of the
         following grounds exist:
              Consideration by the full Court is necessary to secure or maintain
               uniformity of the Court’s decisions; or
              The proceeding involves a question of exceptional importance; or

                                                                                    1

                 The opinion directly conflicts with an existing opinion by another
                  court of appeals or the Supreme Court and substantially affects a
                  rule of national application in which there is an overriding need for
                  national uniformity.
