Relator applied for an alternative writ of mandamus to compel the Court of Appeal, Second Circuit, to consider his application for rehearing. The adverse judgment was rendered by the Court of Appeal on October 26, 1962 and notice thereof was deposited in the U. S. mail on the same day. The notice was delivered to counsel for relator on the following day,. October 27, 1962, and an application for a rehearing was filed on November 10, 1962, which was within 14 days after-notice of the judgment was received by-counsel. The court refused to consider the application for the reason that the uniform rules of the courts of appeal require that an application for rehearing be filed on or before the 14th calendar day after delivery of notice of judgment “ * * * by deposit in the U. S. mail * * * ” which, in this case, was October 26, 1962, whereas the application was not filed until November 10, 1962. See La.App., 147 So.2d 80, 85.
