       Appellee.                          )

                   ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR REHEARING

       Appellant Edmund George Zagorski has filed a petition to rehear this cause

pursuant to Tenn. R. App. P. 39 contending that our opinion conflicts with and/or

overlooks principles of law regarding trial counsel’s duties to investigate mitigation

evidence and fully advise a defendant regarding a potential mitigation defense. We

have reviewed all of the arguments raised in the petition, and we find them to be

without merit.

       Accordingly, after due consideration, the court is of the opinion that the petition

should be and the same is hereby denied.

                                                 PER CURIAM
