Document:

456 So. 2d 112 (1983)
Ex parte Ida Mae SAWYER.
(Re Ida Mae Sawyer v. State of Alabama).
82-346.

Supreme Court of Alabama.
June 3, 1983.
Kathleen M. Warren, Gadsden, for petitioner.
Charles A. Graddick, Atty. Gen. and Helen P. Nelson, Asst. Atty. Gen., for respondent.
SHORES, Justice.
The Court of Criminal Appeals, 456 So. 2d 110, affirmed the petitioner's conviction, expressly holding that the record failed to show that she had reserved her right to raise the search and seizure issue on appeal, despite her guilty plea.
After the Court of Criminal Appeals released its opinion on November 2, 1982, the petitioner filed an application for rehearing accompanied by the following supplemental record pursuant to Rule 10(f), Alabama Rules of Appellate Procedure:
"Done this the 9th day of November, 1982.
The Court of Criminal Appeals denied rehearing without comment.
We reverse and remand the cause to the Court of Criminal Appeals for consideration of the search and seizure issue in light of the record as now properly supplemented under ARAP 10(f). Ballou v. State, 365 So. 2d 352 (Ala.Cr.App.1978).
The supplemented record supports the petitioner's claim that the search and seizure issue was preserved for consideration on appeal. We do not, however, reach the merits of her claim, leaving that for consideration by the Court of Criminal Appeals, taking into account the supplemented record.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
All the Justices concur.
