1Opinion of the Court
ON CRIMINAL PETITION TO TRANSFER
GIVAN, Justice.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision to order an executed sentence for appellant even though it had been five and one-half (5%) years since that court had denied his original appeal and had certified the denial to the trial court. See Woods v. State (1991), Ind.App., 578 N.E.2d 715. We recognize that both the trial court and the Court of Appeals followed what appeared to be the existing law in Indiana concerning delays in the execution of a sentence in Indiana. See Smith v. Howard (1934), 206 Ind. 496, 190 N.E. 169.
