ORDER
WATT, Chief Justice.
The 22 March 2005 motion by appel-lee to strike rehearing petition as untimely, treated here as a motion to dismiss that petition, is denied. Constitutional mandate for uniformity of procedure, imposed by the provisions of Art. 5 § 46, Old. Const., inexorably requires that the terms of 12 O.S.2001 § 990 A(B) be extended to govern the timeliness of filing petitions for rehearing both in this Court as well as in the Court of Civil Appeals. In short, the statutory mailbox rule is hereby declared effective for application to the timeliness of filing petitions for rehearing in the Court of Civil Appeals as well as in this Court. Horvat v. State, ex rel., DOC, 200f OK CIV APP 59, 95 P.Sd 190 (released for publication by the Supreme Court of Oklahoma).
¶ 28 WATT, C.J., WINCHESTER, V.C.J., LAVENDER, HARGRAVE, OPALA, KAUGER, EDMONDSON, JJ., concur.
¶ 29 COLBERT, J., disqualified.
All Justices Concur.
