       Per curiam.

       In October 2011, a jury found applicant guilty of the offense of capital murder. The

jury answered the statutory punishment questions in such a way that the trial court set

                                                                                     Cole - 2

application for a writ of habeas corpus was due to be filed in the trial court on or before

December 6, 2013, assuming a motion for extension was timely filed and granted. It has

been nearly two years since the application was due in the trial court. Accordingly, we order

the trial court to resolve any remaining issues in the case within 120 days from the date of

this order. The clerk shall then immediately transmit the complete writ record to this Court.

Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court.

       IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 16TH DAY OF DECEMBER, 2015.
