Opinion

The Attorney General of the State of California opens his opposition to the granting of a writ of assistance as follows:

Heretofore, the Chief Judge of this Court granted a certificate of probable cause and requested the trial court to appoint an attorney for petitioner so that this Court may be apprised of the whole situation.

Without doubt, we will, in due time, hear from the specially appointed attorney and then Wilson’s appeal will be before us.

We regard the petition for writ of assistance as frivolous, and it is dismissed.
