             IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
                                     FIFTH APPELLATE DISTRICT

    In re                                                                                    F085915

             KIRK T. HARRIS,                                             (Fresno Super. Ct. No. CF06903074)

                              On Habeas Corpus.                                           OPINION

                                                   THE COURT
            ORIGINAL PROCEEDINGS; petition for writ of habeas corpus.
            Kirk T. Harris, in pro. per., for Petitioner.
            Rob Bonta, Attorney General, Lance E. Winters, Chief Assistant Attorney
General, Michael P. Farrell, Assistant Attorney General, and Max Feinstat, Deputy
Attorney General, for Respondent.
                                                        -ooOoo-
            Petitioner seeks permission to file a belated notice of appeal. The Attorney
General was given an opportunity to file opposition to the request and told that its failure
to do so would be treated as consent to the requested relief being granted without further
proceedings. On April 7, 2023, the Attorney General filed a response conceding that
petitioner’s allegations appear to be sufficient to make a prima facie showing for relief
from default.

           Before Detjen, Acting P. J., Meehan, J. and DeSantos, J.
       The Attorney General’s response conceding petitioner has made a prima facie
showing for relief from default, in accordance with our order filed on March 24, 2023, is
deemed to constitute an agreement that the requested relief ought to be granted without
further proceedings. (People v. Romero (1994) 8 Cal.4th 728, 740, fn. 7.)
       Therefore, we grant petitioner’s request to file a belated notice of appeal.
                                      DISPOSITION
       Petitioner is directed to file, on or before 60 days from the date of this opinion, a
notice of appeal and request for a certificate of probable cause in Fresno County Superior
Court action No. CF06903074.
       Let a writ of habeas corpus issue directing the Clerk of the Superior Court for
Fresno County to file said request in its action No. CF06903074, to treat it as timely filed,
and to proceed with the preparation of the record on appeal in accordance with the
applicable rules of the California Rules of Court if the clerk of that court receives said
request on or before 60 days from the date of this opinion.
       This opinion is final forthwith as to this court.
