OPINION ON STATE’S MOTION FOR REHEARING
MILLER, Judge.
On original submission, this Court granted appellant’s petition for discretionary review, reversed the judgments of the Court of Appeals and the trial court, and remanded the case to the trial court. Ex parte Stacey, 709 S.W.2d 185 (Tex.Cr.App.1986). The majority and concurring opinions both reached the conclusion that the order of referral by the district judge to the magistrate that heard the extradition matter was “inapplicable” and ineffective to refer the case. The State has moved for leave to file a motion for rehearing, attacking only part of the reasoning used in the majority opinion to support the unanimous conclusion of the Court, and asks us to review our original disposition of appellant’s contentions. We grant leave to file the State’s motion for rehearing. Having done so and having reconsidered the reasoning underlying our disposition, the majority is now of the opinion that the concurring opinion on original submission was correct.
The State’s motion for rehearing is granted. The concurring opinion on original submission is adopted as the majority opinion on rehearing. The judgment of the Court of Appeals and the judgment of the trial court are reversed and the cause is remanded to the trial court.
CLINTON, J., dissents.
