the legitimacy of a competency jury trial scheduled for October 15, 2025. We issued an order
denying the petition on October 14, 2025, and our opinion followed shortly thereafter. On October
28, 2025, relator filed a motion for rehearing and rehearing en banc. This court has considered the
motion for rehearing and rehearing en banc and determined that relator is not entitled to the relief
requested. The motion for rehearing and rehearing en banc is DENIED.

It is so ORDERED on January 14, 2026.
