## Opinion text

On application for rehearing the claimant relies on Lambert v. Alabama Real Estate Commission , 490 So.2d 18
(Ala.Civ.App. 1986), as authority for his contention that the thirty-day time limit of Ala. Code (1975), § 41-22-20 (d), applies, rather than the ten-day time limit of Ala. Code (1975), § 25-4-95 . Specifically, the claimant contends that " Lambert demonstrates that any statute inconsistent with § 41-22-20 (d) has been replaced." We disagree. *Page 469
In Lambert the pertinent judicial review requirements of the specific agency statute there involved, Ala. Code (1975), § 34-27-38 (c), did not conflict with § 41-22-20 (d). Thus, this court was not faced with the issue it confronts in this case — whether the judicial review provisions of the AAPA or those of a specific agency statute, here § 25-4-95 , govern where the latter is in conflict with the AAPA. It is this court's opinion that in such a situation the specific agency statute governs, not the AAPA.
OPINION EXTENDED; APPLICATION FOR REHEARING OVERRULED.
WRIGHT, P.J., and BRADLEY, J., concur.
