Smith, Justice. This case involves a petition for a writ of mandamus against appellee to compel him to sign an order in a habeas corpus hearing held on February 18, 1986. In view of the fact that this is a direct application to this Court for a writ of mandamus, this case is controlled by Brown v. Johnson, 251 Ga. 436 (306 SE2d 655) (1983), the petition is therefore dismissed. Decided June 24, 1986. Aubrey H. Aldridge, pro se. Dupont K. Cheney, District Attorney, for appellee. Petition for writ dismissed. All the Justices concur.
