When an application under the provisions of Article 712-5, the sentence enforcement judge must rule by reasoned order no later than two months after the application has been lodged under the conditions set out in article D. 49-11.
Failing this, the sentenced person may apply directly to the President of the Enforcement Division of the Court of Appeal, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or in accordance with the procedures set out in article 503.
In the event of the rejection, acceptance or postponement of a request made by the sentenced person, the sentence enforcement judge may, in his order, set a period of time by means of a reasoned decision, during which the sentenced person is not eligible to make a similar request, without this period exceeding six months.
