 "Comes now the petitioner Robert E. Craft by writ of mandamus and petitions this court to order the Circuit Court of Conecuh. County to act upon a renewal1 petition for a writ of error coram nobis that petitioner filed in that court on October 6th more than a month ago.
"Statement of Facts

1 Supreme Court Rule 50 provides in part:
 "* * * and the sentencing court shall not be required to entertain a second or successive petition for similar relief on behalf of the same prisoner. A successive petition on different grounds will not be entertained unless good cause is shown why the new ground or grounds were not known or could not have been reasonably ascertained when the first petition was heard." 278 Ala. xx.
