Supreme Court Rule 39, Title 7, Code of Alabama 1940 provides that this court will not receive an application for a writ of certiorari for the purpose of reviewing a decision of the Court of Appeals, unless it appears upon the face of the application that application for a rehearing was made in the Court of Appeals and decided adversely to the movant.

The record shows that no application for a rehearing was made in the Court of Appeals. Such defect is jurisdictional. Oliver v. State, 256 Ala. 295, 54 So.2d 618.

The petition for certiorari must be stricken.

Petition stricken.
