BARTEAU, Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. For the reasons stated in Boushehry v. State (1993), Ind.App., 622 N.E.2d 212 and opinion on rehearing 626 N.E.2d 497, this appeal should be dismissed. While I believe that the approach taken in *1092Billingsley v. State (1994), Ind.App. 638 N.E.2d 1340 and by the majority here is more workable than the rule and makes sense, we must apply the rule as it is written and the rule says the authority of the judge pro tempore terminates at the expiration of the term.
