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.
