| 08/16/2000 | Post-Judgment Order | Filed Order/Rehearing Denied. Order Denying Petition for Rehearing and Modifying Order. While we conclude that rehearing is not warranted, we modify our previous order as set forth herein. In the first sentence of footnote 4, we stated, "The delay in identifying the alleged discreprancies was explained by Summa's lack of the legal and technical expertise to monitor royalty payments following its divestiture of the mining properties." We delete this sentence from our previous order. In the last sentence of the order we modify the sentence as follows: In light of the above discussion, this matter is reversed and remanded to the district court for a calculation of the appropriate "net smelter returns" in a manner not inconsistent with this order, and for further proceedings. We have considered the remaining arguments of respondents and conclude that they fail to demonstrate that rehearing is warranted. "We therefore deny rehearing, but modify our previous order as indicated." SNP99B-WM/MS/NB. Nos. 31292, 31471, 31592.

|
| 12/22/2000 | Order/Procedural | Filed Order. We have considered the petition for en banc reconsideration, and have determined that the remittitur should be recalled pending resolution of the petition. Accordingly, we recall the remittitur issued September 1, 2000.

| 04/03/2001 | Order/Dispositional | Filed Dispositional Order/Appeal. Order Granting En Banc Reconsideration, Vacating Prior Order, and Reversing and Remanding. After considering the petition for en banc reconsideration and the answer thereto, we have concluded that reconsideration by the full court is warranted to maintain the uniformity of decisions applying contract interpretation principles. We grant the petition and vacate the prior panel order of remand filed on August 16, 2000. We issue this order in place of the panel's prior order. " . . . we reverse the district court's judgment and post-judgment orders and remand for further proceedings consistent with this order." fn12[Our ruling today renders moot Summa's other assignm,ents of error regarding attorney fees and costs.] fn13[The Honorable Myron Leavitt, Justice, voluntarily recused himself from participation in the decision of this matter.] EN BANC-WM/CY/MS/DA/RR/NB.

| 11/13/2001 | Other | Disqualification of Justice Maupin. Law firm of Hale Lane Peek Dennison Howard & Anderson. | | |
| 04/04/2002 | Post-Judgment Order | Filed Order/Rehearing Denied. Although we conclude that rehearing is not warranted, we clarify that Taylor's testimony is admissible to aid the district court in interpreting the ambiguous contract provisions in light of the custom and practice in the mining industry, but not to interpret the agreement for the court. We have reviewed respondents' remaining contentions, and we conclude they are without merit. Accordingly, we deny this petition for rehearing. "It is so ORDERED." fn3[The Honorable A. William Maupin, Chief Justice, and the Honorable Myron E. Leavitt, Justice, voluntarily recused themselves from the decision in this matter.] EN BANC-CY/MS/DA/RR/NB.
