COURT'S OPINION

PER CURIAM:

The appellant filed a petition for rehearing on December 2, 1996. We deny the petition. We have carefully considered all of the appellant's arguments and have neither overlooked nor misapprehended any points of law or fact. See FSM App. R. 40(a). We have ruled on those issues necessary to decide this appeal. A summary denial is therefore proper.
