Upon timely motion, we have discretion under M. R. App. 20(1)(a) to reconsider a prior iorder or decision upon a showing that we overlooked a fact material thereto, a decisive issue, presented, or a conflicting statute or controlling decision.

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Appellants' August 24 "Motion to Correct the Recorr and. September 9 Motion for Rehearing on our August 25 order are both hereby DENIED.
