(a) Petition. Applications for a rehearing and a brief in support thereof, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, shall be made by petition to the Court, signed by counsel, and filed with the Clerk within twenty (20) days from the date on which the opinion in the cause is filed. The mailbox rule, extended to various papers by the terms of Rule 1.4(c) and 1.4(e), applies to rehearing petitions to the Supreme Court. No oral argument on a petition for rehearing shall be allowed except upon order of the Court. No petition for rehearing shall be filed or considered without proof of service.

(b) Application for Extension of Time to File Petition. Applications for extension of time to file petitions for rehearing are not favored and are not routinely granted. If an application for an extension of time is filed, it must be filed within twenty days of the date the opinion is filed. No extension of time will be granted for more than twenty days from the original due date for the petition for rehearing. The application will be granted only if the Court determines that extraordinary cause is shown in the application. No second extension of time will be granted.
