As requested by the attorney general, this cause is remanded to the circuit court with directions that the petition for habeas corpus challenging the petitioner's conviction for murder be treated as a petition for post-conviction relief. Rule 32.4, A.R.Crim.P. The appellant should be permitted to file the proper form for a petition for post-conviction relief as required by Rule 32.6(a). If venue is not proper in Barbour County, the circuit court shall transfer that petition to the court in which the petitioner was convicted. Rule 32.5. See Johnson v. State, 568 So.2d 365, 36566 (Ala.Cr.App. 1990); McDougal v. State, 563 So.2d 1073, 1074 (Ala.Cr.App. 1990); Thompson v. State, 540 So.2d 96 (Ala.Cr.App. 1987). REVERSED AND REMANDED.
Thus, the trial court erred in summarily dismissing Cantu's petition. See Thompson v. State, 540 So.2d 96 (Ala.Cr.App. 1987). See also McDougal v. State, 563 So.2d 1073 (Ala.Cr.App. 1990).
