On October 1, 2021, this Court, bound by Ex parte Key, 890 So. 2d 1056 (Ala. 2003), issued an order granting the petition for a writ of mandamus filed by John Grant, directing the Montgomery Circuit Court to dismiss Grants indictment for capital murder. See Ex parte Grant (No. CR-20-0804, Oct. 1, 2021), _ So. 3d _ (Ala. Crim. App. 2021) (table). The State then petitioned the Alabama Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari to review this Courts order. The Alabama Supreme Court issued the writ, and, on September 9, 2022, it issued an opinion in which it overruled Ex parte Key, reversed this Courts judgment, and directed this court to quash the previously issued writ of mandamus.
