1. “"Considering the limited facts before us on this mandamus petition, we conclude that, through no fault of his own, Johnson has never been notified that his Rule 32 petition has been denied even though it appears the petition was denied, and even though he was entitled to such notification. The trial judge does not dispute Johnson's allegation that he has never received notification of the disposition of his Rule 32 petition, and the judge has presented no evidence suggesting that Johnson has received notice. On this state of the record, we must conclude that Johnson was not informed of the denial of his Rule 32 petition. "We cannot deny Johnson his day in court simply because the trial court has not notified him of the disposition of his Rule 32 petition. See Weeks [v. State , 611 So.2d 259 (Ala. 1992)]."”
