Walter Glenn SMITH v. STATE.

8 Div. 671.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama.

Jan. 27, 1987.

On Return to Remand July 28, 1987.

Walter Glenn Smith, pro se.

charles A. Graddick, Atty. Gen., and J. Elizabeth Kellum, Asst. Atty. Gen., for ap-pellee.

McMILLAN, Judge.

This is an appeal from a dismissal of a petition for writ of error coram nobis. The trial court dismissed the petition on the premise that the case was pending appeal before the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals. However, the case pending appeal is not the same case on which the present petition was filed. Therefore, this case is due to be remanded for a hearing on the petition, as the State declined to file a brief and the petition was meritorious on its face. Ex parte Boatwright, 471 So.2d 1257 (Ala.1985).

REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.

All the Judges concur.

Following a review of the record, this cause is hereby affirmed.
