    This Court recognizes that the current customary practice in the 13th Judicial Circuit is often used in many circuits in this State; however, in many circuits, the presiding judge has issued a standing administrative order adopting that procedure. In Owens v. State, 39 So.3d 1183 (Ala.Crim.App.2009), this Court held that such a standing order by the presiding circuit judge was sufficient to constitute a valid appointment of a circuit judge under § 13A–5–9.1 to hear a Kirby motion.
