               MEMORANDUM DECISION – NOT FOR PUBLICATION

BAKER, Judge
       On September 6, 2012, William Temple filed a pro se “Petition for Writ of State

Habeas Corpus Relief” in Henry County. The trial court dismissed Temple’s motion and

Temple appealed. On July 3, 2013, a panel of this Court reversed and remanded with

instructions to “transfer[] the cause to the court where [Temple] was convicted and

sentenced, namely, the Marion Superior Court.” Temple v. State, No. 33A01-1211-MI-

533, at *2 (Ind. Ct. App. July 3, 2013).

       The Henry Circuit Court failed to follow this Court’s explicit instructions to

transfer this cause to the Marion Superior Court. Instead, on July 21, 2014, the trial court

denied Temple’s petition and granted summary disposition to New Castle Correctional

Facility. Inasmuch as the trial court failed to follow this Court’s instructions on remand,

we again reverse and remand with the same instructions.

       The judgment of the trial court is reversed and remanded with instructions to

transfer the cause to Marion Superior Court, where Temple was convicted and sentenced.

VAIDIK, C.J., and RILEY, J., concur.
