LEWIS, JR., (ROBERT) ON H.C.
Opinion filed: habeas corpus granted; judgment vacated
The petition for writ of habeas corpus is granted insofar as claim XVIII alleges that petitioner is ineligible for execution because he is intellectually disabled. The judgment in People v. Robert Lewis, Jr. (Super. Ct. Los Angeles County, 1984, No. A027897), is vacated to the extent it imposes a sentence of death.
In light of the above, we do not address the petition's allegations of ineffective assistance of counsel in claims, XIV, XV, and XVI. The order to show cause on those claims is discharged.
