¶1

¶2We hereby suspend the provisions of Rule 39(g) and (h), Ala. R.App. P., allowing 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 occurs on or before July 31, 2001, has two years from the triggering date in which to file his or her petition).

¶3Because the triggering date in Davis's case was June 1, 2001, his postconviction petition filed on October 28, 2002, was timely. We therefore 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.

¶4WRIT GRANTED; REVERSED AND REMANDED.
