    Timothy FISHER v. STATE.
    CR-93-0790.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama.
    Jan. 13, 1995.
    Timothy Fisher, pro se.
    James H. Evans, Atty. Gen., and Alice Byrne, Dept, of Corrections, for appellee.
   MONTIEL, Judge.

The appellant, Timothy Fisher, appeals the summary dismissal of his Rule 32, Ala. R.Crim.P., petition. The circuit judge noted the following on the case action summary: “Petition for relief is dismissed. Defendant has new pending case. Will litigate issue of prior felony conviction at that time.” (C. 23.)

Both the state and the trial court have requested that we remand this case for a clarification of this dismissal order. Therefore, we remand this cause with directions that the trial judge take whatever action he deems necessary to properly address this petition in accordance with the provisions of Rule 32. He may summarily dismiss the petition with a proper written order pursuant to Rule 32.7(d), Ala.R.Crim.P., and Sheats v. State, 556 So.2d 1094 (Ala.Crim.App.1989) or he may adjudicate the petition on its merits in an evidentiary hearing pursuant to Rule 32.9, Ala.R.Crim.P. On return to remand, the circuit court shall include the record and transcript, if any, of the proceedings.

Due return shall be made to this court within 56 days of the date of this opinion.

REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.

All the Judges concur.
