unexecuted sentence.

If for any reason a sentence of death has not been executed and
remains in force, the court in which sentence was pronounced, on
application of the district attorney, shall, if no legal reason
exists for not proceeding with the execution of the sentence,
enter an order setting a new date for the execution of the
sentence, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the
date of the order. The court may order the prisoner to be
brought before it or, if the prisoner is at large, issue a
warrant for the prisoner's arrest. The court shall also issue a
new warrant directed to the director of the department of
corrections to carry out the execution of the sentence as
provided by W.S. 7-13-906.
