(a) Grounds for Petition. The court may order a rehearing of a matter previously decided if, in reaching its decision: (1) The court has overlooked, misapplied or failed to consider a statute, decision or principle directly controlling; or (2) The court has overlooked or misconceived some material fact or proposition of law; or (3) The court has overlooked or misconceived a material question in the case.

Date of notice is defined in Civil Rule 58.1(c) and Criminal Rule 32.3(c). The petitioner shall specifically state which of the grounds for rehearing specified in paragraph (a) exists, and shall specifically designate that portion of the opinion, the brief, or the record, or that particular authority, which the petitioner wishes the court to consider. The petition shall be prepared in conformity with Rule 513.5(b) and when filed shall be accompanied by proof of service on all parties. No petition for rehearing shall exceed five typewritten pages.
