On Rehearing
Myers, J.
This matter comes to us on a petition for rehearing in regard to a denial of petition for writ of certiorari. See Tait v. State (1965), 246 Ind. 570, 205 N. E. 2d 317. Originally, petitioner was convicted of the crime of entering to commit a felony which we affirmed in Tait v. State (1963), 244 Ind. 35, 188 N. E. 2d 537. Then petitioner proceeded to file a belated motion for new trial in the Montgomery Circuit Court on January 10, 1964. This was denied and the petition for writ of certiorari was filed with this court to review the Montgomery Circuit Court’s ruling.
In the belated motion for new trial, petitioner alleged that he had newly-discovered evidence which he attempted to support by an affidavit. He further alleged that he had been denied due process of law, *585particularly emphasizing an instruction which the trial court had given to the effect that entering to commit a felony is a lesser and included offense in a charge of second-degree burglary. We found the allegation in regard to newly-discovered evidence to be insufficient, and we further ruled that other questions, such as those pertaining to instructions, should have been included in a motion for new trial.
Now, in his petition for rehearing, petitioner again argues that he has been denied due process of law in that entering to commit a felony is not an included offense under a charge of second-degree burglary and that, therefore, he has been convicted of a crime with which he was not charged.
Since the petitioner has not presented anything which merits our consideration and simply attempts to re-argue issues which we already have passed on, the petition for rehearing should be denied.
Petition for rehearing denied.
Jackson, C. J., and Achor, Arterburn and Landis, JJ., concur.
