The clerk shall then transmit the complete writ record to this Court within 120 days from the date of this order. Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court.

If it was, the district clerk is instructed to forward the application to this Court immediately. IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 1ST DAY OF AUGUST, 2012. Do Not Publish
