ON REHEARING
Opinion and judgment were rendered in this case December 23, 1976. Motion for rehearing was thus due to be filed no later than January 7, 1977. Rule 458 TRCP.
Motion for rehearing was filed January 10, 1977.
Such filing on January 10, 1977 would have still been timely (under Rule 5 TRCP) if the motion had been mailed no later than January 6, 1977. But such motion was deposited in the mail on January 7, 1977, and such fact is reflected by both the POST MARK, and the letter of transmittal accompanying the motion.
Under Rule 21c TRCP appellant had 15 days following January 7,1977 to reasonably explain failure to timely file such motion. Such 15 days expired January 24, 1977 (since January 22, 1977 fell on Saturday). No motion of explanation was filed.
Appellant’s motion for rehearing is accordingly dismissed.
DISMISSED.
