COURT'S OPINION

PER CURIAM:

The appellant timely filed a petition for rehearing on July 2, 1996. The petitioner's lengthy arguments largely mischaracterize our holding. The appellant's arguments repeat those he has made before, and which we previously considered carefully. A rehearing is unnecessary. We have neither overlooked nor misapprehended any points of law or fact. See FSM App. R. 40(a). We ruled on those issues necessary to decide the appeal before us. We may therefore summarily deny the appellant's petition for rehearing. Nena v. Kosrae (II), [1994] FMSC 18; 6 FSM Intrm. 437, 438 (App. 1994).
