1. “1. The circuit court will notify the appellant that he must complete a separate petition to challenge his sentencing in case number CC-84-730. The circuit court will give the appellant 30 days from the date of notification by mail to file his new petition. 2. Upon the expiration of the 30-day period or upon receipt of the new petition, whichever occurs first, the circuit court will hold an evidentiary hearing or an alternative proceeding in compliance with Rule 32.9(a), Ala.R.Crim.P., to determine the factual merits of the appellant's petition in case CC-84-286 and, if the appellant files a petition in CC-84-730, to rule on that petition.
