Supreme Court of California
In re Morgan, S162413
Defendant's cursory one-claim habeas corpus petition, requesting the court to defer its decision on his petition until he is appointed habeas counsel and until that attorney has had a reasonable opportunity to investigate various factual and legal matters for his 1996 capital murder conviction, which may lead to additional claims for relief to be presented in an amended petition, is granted as, in light of the unusual circumstances presented, a decision in this matter is deferred until a habeas corpus counsel has been appointed and until that attorney has had a reasonable opportunity to investigate various matters for potentially meritorious claims to be presented in an amended habeas petition.
