SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION ON DENIAL OF REHEARING

SEPTEMBER 19, 1988

Per Curiam. The petitioner, Billy Joe Brunson, was convicted on charges of rape, aggravated robbery, and kidnapping (two counts). We affirmed. Brunson v. State, 296 Ark. 220 , 753 S.W.2d 859 (1988). Brunson petitions this court for a rehearing on the grounds that at the time briefs were originally filed he had requested by letter that the case be set for oral argument — which was never done. In support of his petition, Brunson alleges five errors of fact or law in our opinion of July 18,1988, and requests that we vacate the opinion and set the case for oral argument.

While we acknowledge the inadvertent error by the clerk in failing to set the case for oral argument, our examination of Brunson’s arguments in his petition for rehearing convinces us that our July opinion contains no error. Accordingly, the petition for rehearing is denied.

Purtle, J., would grant.
