DENIED WITH REASONS

TSM

WICKER, J.

Relator seeks reconsideration of this Court’s June 26, 2026 denial of her writ
application number 26-C-186.
Uniform Rules-Courts of Appeal, Rule (URCA) 2-18.7 provides as follows:
2-18.7. When Rehearing Will Be Considered
An application for rehearing will be considered in cases where
the court has:
(A) Granted a writ application on the merits;
(B) Dismissed an appeal; or
(C) Ruled on the merits of an appeal.
URCA Rule 4-9 provides that “Rules 2-18.1 through 2-18.7 apply to
requests for rehearings related to writ applications.”
Because we did not grant Relator’s writ application on the merits, she is not
entitled to a rehearing. Therefore, Relator’s application for rehearing is DENIED.
