    Ex parte Floyd DIERKING. (In re Floyd Dierking v. State of Alabama).
    1030469.
    Supreme Court of Alabama.
    Feb. 6, 2004.
    Floyd Dierking, pro se.
    Submitted on petitioner’s brief only.
   WOODALL, Justice.

We hereby suspend the provisions of Rule 39(g) and (h), Ala. RApp. P., which allow the respondent to file a brief, and we summarily grant the writ. See Ex parte Gardner, [Ms. 1030309, January 27, 2004] — So.2d-(Ala.2004), and Court Comment of January 27, 2004, to Amendment to Rule 32.2, attached as an appendix to the opinion in Ex parte Gardner (a defendant whose triggering date for filing a Rule 32, Ala. R.Crim. P., petition occurred on or before July 31, 2001, has two years from the triggering date in which to file his or her petition).

Because the triggering date in Dierk-ing’s case was June 8, 2001, his postconviction petition, filed on June 4, 2003, was timely. Therefore, we reverse the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeals and remand the cause for further proceedings consistent with this opinion and with Ex parte Gardner.

WRIT GRANTED; REVERSED AND REMANDED.

HOUSTON, SEE, LYONS, BROWN, JOHNSTONE, HARWOOD, and STUART, JJ., concur.
