ORDER CORRECTING FINAL ORDER

GRANTING PETITION FOR WRIT OF

HABEAS CORPUS

[Doc. #29]

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding with a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On April 19, 2006, this Court issued an order granting the petition for writ of habeas corpus.

Judgment was entered on the same date. On May 1, 2006, the Court received a letter from Counsel

for Respondent which notes a possible error in the order’s procedural history. On page 2 of the order,

it is stated that Petitioner was convicted in Count Two of “attempted sexual battery” in violation of

Cal. Penal Code §§ 664/243.4. Respondent claims Petitioner was in fact convicted in Count Two of

forcible oral copulation in violation of Cal. Penal Code § 288a, subd. (c)(2). Respondent traces the

error to the unpublished opinion of the California Court of Appeal, Fifth Appellate District. See

Exhibit H, Respondent’s Answer to the Petition. The verdict form and the abstract of judgment

confirm Respondent’s position. See Clerk’s Transcript at 194, 347.

 E. D . California cd 2

Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the order granting the petition for writ of habeas

corpus is corrected to reflect that Petitioner was convicted of forcible oral copulation rather than

attempted sexual battery. On page 2, lines 9-10, of the order, the words “attempted sexual battery

(Cal. Penal Code §§ 664/243.4)” are hereby replaced with the words “forcible oral copulation (Cal.

Penal Code § 288a, subd. (c)(2).” 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
