Rule 32.6(b), [Ala.R.Crim.P.], the petition was due to be returned to the appellant with instructions to file a verified petition in the proper form.

2. “"to allow the State an opportunity to respond to the claims the appellant raises in his petition, and to allow the trial court an opportunity to issue an order stating [its] reasons for denying the petition. Additionally, the trial court should take the necessary measures to ensure that the record is supplemented by the addition [of] the appellant's Rule 32 petition, if one has been filed. If the trial court finds that the appellant failed to file a Rule 32 petition, it should so state for the record in a written order."”
