ORDER DENYING SECOND PETITION TO REHEAR
The defendant previously filed a petition to rehear requesting that this Court permit him to supplement the record with two affidavits and the transcript of the hearing on the motion for a new trial. In a previous order this Court denied the application to supplement the record for the reasons set forth in that order.
Subsequently, the appellant filed a petition to rehear. This petition is predicated upon the assumption that this court would permit the supplementation of the record. Counsel states in the petition:
In the event that this Court were to deny the Motion to Modify the Record, counsel believes that this Petition could not be entertained. Therefore, the Petition is written with the assumption that the Motion to Modify will be granted and contains references to materials which are not presently on the record.
Since this Court has denied that application, the request for rehearing, which is predicated solely upon the denial of the motion for a new trial on the ground of newly discovered evidence, cannot be considered.
Had this Court been permitted to consider these affidavits, this Court would have ruled, that based upon the record before us and the content of the affidavits, the appellant is not entitled to a new trial on this ground; and the ruling of the trial court, denying the appellant’s motion for a new trial on this ground, was correct in all particulars.
The petition to rehear, filed on the 18th day of April, 1988, is denied.
WADE, J., and RICHARD R. FORD, Special Judge, concur.
