Ex parte Renard PRUITT. (In re STATE of Alabama v. Renard PRUITT).
    CR-94-1116.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama.
    March 14, 1996.
    Richard S. Jaffe, Birmingham, for Petitioner.
    Mike Anderton, Deputy District Atty., Birmingham, for Respondent.
   AFTER REMAND FROM THE ALABAMA SUPREME COURT

TAYLOR, Presiding Judge.

The petitioner, Renard Pruitt, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus against the Honorable J. Richmond Pearson when the court refused to reinstate the $25,000 bond set at his preliminary hearing and raised the amount of his bond to $200,000. We denied the petition. Pruitt then petitioned to the Alabama Supreme Court. On May 8, 1995, the Alabama Supreme Court ordered us to remand the ease to the circuit court so that an evidentiary hearing could be held. We remanded the case, and the trial court held a hearing and refused to reinstate the original amount of bond. We affirmed the denial of the petition on remand. State v. Pruitt, 673 So.2d 835 (Ala.Cr.App.1995). On November 29, 1995, the Alabama Supreme Court ordered us to remand the ease to the Circuit Court for Jefferson County so that that court could make specific written findings as to why it raised the petitioner’s bail to $200,-000.

Pursuant to the order issued by the Alabama Supreme Court this case is remanded to the Circuit Court for Jefferson County and that court is directed to make specific written findings explaining why it raised the petitioner’s bail. It is further directed to file those findings in this court no later than 14 days from the date of this opinion.

REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.

All the Judges concur. 
      
      . This court did not receive the Alabama Supreme Court’s order until March 4, 1996.
