The appellant, Patricia Ann Long Miller, appeals from an order revoking her probation. The appellant correctly argues, and the state concedes, that the trial court failed to make adequate written findings stating the reasons for revoking the appellant's probation or the evidence it relied upon in doing so, as required by Rule 27.6(f), Ala.R.Crim.P., andArmstrong v. State, 294 Ala. 100, 312 So.2d 620 (1975).
In Wyatt v. State, 608 So.2d 762, 763 (Ala. 1992), the Alabama Supreme Court reaffirmed its position that "Armstrongv. State requires a written order setting forth the evidence relied upon and the reason for the revocation." Accordingly, this cause is remanded with directions to the trial court to enter an order stating the evidence relied upon and the reasons for the revocation of the appellant's probation. The trial court shall take necessary action to see that the *Page 212 
circuit clerk makes due return to this court at the earliest possible time and within 42 days of the release of this opinion. This court reserves comment on any other issues raised on appeal pending the trial court's compliance with the directions contained herein and until a proper return is made to this court.
REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.*
All judges concur.
* Note from the Reporter of Decisions: On November 1, 1996, on return to remand, the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed, without opinion.
