Okla. Stat. tit. 22, § 22-1066: Power of appellate court - Return by clerk of lower court

when new trial granted.

The appellate court may reverse, affirm or modify the judgment

or sentence appealed from, and may, if necessary or proper, order a

new trial or resentencing. In either case, the cause must be

remanded to the court below, with proper instructions, and the

opinion of the court, within the time, and in the manner, to be

prescribed by rule of the court.

If the case is reversed for a new trial, the clerk of the court

from which such cause was appealed is required to make return

showing that said case was specifically called to the attention of

the trial court at the time of the setting of the docket following

receipt of mandate, and showing the court's action in placing said

cause on the docket for trial, said return to be made immediately

after the trial and entry of judgment, or earlier disposal. Should

the case not be retried and should it be dismissed by the court,

return shall be made, giving the reasons stated by the court in his

minutes justifying such dismissal.
