VALENTINE (JOE LOUIS) ON H.C.
The petition for writ of habeas corpus has been read and considered. Petitioner contends, among other claims, that he is entitled to relief under the Racial Justice Act of 2020 (Pen. Code, § 745). Petitioner does not describe or attach trial court transcripts or other documentation concerning displays of racial bias or use of racially discriminatory language, and he does not explain why he
believes he was charged or convicted of a more serious offense or had a longer or more severe sentence imposed as a result of his race, ethnicity, or national origin. (Pen. Code, § 745, subd. (a)(1)-(4); cf. In re Swain(1949) 34 Cal.2d 300, 304 [a petition for writ of habeas corpus must allege sufficient facts with particularity]; cf. also People v. Duvall (1995) 9 Cal.4th 464, 474 [a petition for writ of habeas corpus must include copies of reasonably available documentary evidence].) The petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied.
