The opinion

ON REHEARING

PER CURIAM.

As noted in this opinion the state did not file a brief on original submission of this case. Where there was no brief on the merits filed in opposition to petitioner’s brief, an application for rehearing is not a matter of right.

Since we disposed of this case on constitutional grounds, and since this is a case of first impression, we will simply overrule the application and pave the way for review by the Supreme Court if that Court so desires.

Opinion extended and application for rehearing overruled.

TYSON, HARRIS, and DeCARLO, JJ-, concur.
