      Altice, Judge.

[1]   Appellees Franciscan Hammond Clinic, LLC, and Deepak Majmudar, M.D.,

      filed a petition for rehearing, in which Appellee Hammond Clinic joined,

      asking us to reconsider our memorandum decision issued on February 24,

      2017. We grant the petition for rehearing for the limited purpose of correcting a

      citation error.

[2]   In Paragraph 20 of our memorandum decision, this court set forth the

      proposition that “[a]s a matter of strict grammatical construction, the

      descriptive words in a phrase should, in the absence of punctuation, be referred

      to their nearest antecedent. . . .” We, however, inadvertently attributed this

      quote to First Nat’l Bank of Peoria v. Farmers’ & Merchants’ Nat’l Bank of Wabash,

      171 Ind. 323, 86 N.E.417, 423 (1908), when in fact, the precise quotation was

      taken from FLM, LLC v. Cincinnati Ins. Co., 973 N.E.2d 1167, 1176 (Ind. Ct.

      App. 2012) (citing First Nat’l Bank of Peoria, 171 N.E.2d 323, 86 N.E. at 423).

      First Nat’l Bank of Peoria states the principle as follows: “As a matter of strict

      grammatical construction, the descriptive words in the latter part of the phrase

      should, in the absence of punctuation, be referred to their last antecedent.” 86

      N.E. at 423 (emphasis supplied). We hereby grant rehearing to correct this

      citation error. Our opinion is hereby affirmed in all other respects.

      Riley, J. and Crone, J., concur.
