1. “"Although we recognize that the trial courts of this state labor under a heavy caseload, and that requiring the trial court to prepare an order addressing each of the material allegations presented in the Rule 32 evidentiary hearing only adds to this already heavy burden, we must nonetheless remand this cause to the trial court, with instructions that it enter specific findings of fact `relating to each material issue of fact presented.' Rule 32.9(d), Ala.R.Crim.P. (Emphasis added.) See also, Ex parte Walker , 652 So.2d 198 (Ala. 1994); Smith v. State , 665 So.2d 954 (Ala.Cr.App. 1994); Kolmetz v. State , 649 So.2d 1342 (Ala.Cr.App. 1994). As we have stated, `[a] statement of the basis of the trial court's decision is essential to afford the appellant due process.' Owens v. State , 666 So.2d 31 , 32 (Ala.Cr.App. 1994)."”

2. ““ ‘Rule 32.9(d), Ala. R.Crim. P., requires that if an evidentiary hearing is conducted on the Rule 32 petition, ”[t]he court shall make specific findings of fact relating to each material issue of fact presented.”' [[Image here]] "Although the circuit court held an evi-dentiary hearing on Grau's claims, the only order that court entered is this notation in the case action summary sheet: ‘Petition for relief from conviction or sentence denied.’ Accordingly, the judgment of the Court of Criminal Appeals is reversed and the case is remanded for that court to remand the case for the circuit court to enter an order pursuant to Rule 32.9, Ala. R.Crim. P., making specific findings of fact as to each issue of fact presented and clearly stating the basis of its ruling on the petition.””
