When a judge makes a fundamental mistake as to the application of the rules for extending custody time limits, the correct approach is to make a renewed application to him, or, in his absence, to the senior judge on the circuit. It was not correct to seek judicial review of the order made. Such an application was not the same application, and another judge could, if necessary, make the order required.
