Rule 1.178. Review by the Supreme Court on Certiorari
(a) Reasons for Certiorari. A review of an opinion of the Court of Civil Appeals in the Supreme Court on writ of certiorari as provided in 20 O.S. ยง 30.1 is a matter of sound judicial discretion and will be granted only when there are special and important reasons and a majority of the justices direct that certiorari be granted. The following, while neither controlling nor fully measuring the Supreme Court's discretion, indicate the character of reasons which will be considered:
(3) If on rehearing the Court of Civil Appeals changes or corrects its opinion, any aggrieved party may bring, in accordance with Rule 1.177 a rehearing petition addressing either the changed or corrected portions of the opinion or the text that was present before the change or correction. The time to bring a certiorari petition for review of a changed or corrected opinion in a case where rehearing was sought shall not begin to run until the rehearing petition has been denied.
(4) No petition for certiorari may be filed in the Supreme Court during the pendency of any rehearing petition in the Court of Civil Appeals. A certiorari petition filed during the pendency of a rehearing will be treated as timely filed only if the Court of Civil Appeals ultimately denies rehearing.
