If an inmate meets all the requirements to file a petition for writ of habeas corpus, they will file their petition in the superior court in the court of conviction. Within 60 days, the court will review the petition to determine if the inmate raised a prima facie case entitling them to relief.

Typical examples where a court has granted a habeas corpus petition include claims of new evidence discovered in the case, ineffective assistance of counsel, prosecutorial misconduct, incompetence to stand trial, and challenging conditions of confinement.

By petitioning for a writ, you are asking the court to determine whether your conviction or sentence is illegal. A writ of habeas corpus can be very powerful because if the court accepts your argument, the court can order your immediate release, a new trial, or a new sentencing hearing.

Motions may be withdrawn by the filing of a “Notice of Withdrawal” with the Court at least two (2) court days before a scheduled hearing. A proposed order need not be filed in connection with such a notice.

A motion may be withdrawn at any time prior to its return date by filing with the clerk a written request signed by counsel for the moving party. A request to withdraw a motion after submission must be supported by a stipulation of withdrawal signed by all counsel.

You must appear in person on your scheduled court date to request that your family offense petition be withdrawn. The judge, support magistrate, or referee has the discretion to grant or deny this request. Note: If you are submitting this request by mail or by fax, then it must be notarized.

The Chair takes a vote on the Request for Permission to Withdraw a Motion. If a majority of those present and voting are in favor of withdrawing the motion, then it is withdrawn.

For example, if an individual was convicted on the basis that their skin color matched that of the perpetrator ing to eyewitnesses, but there is no other evidence against them, then the individual can appeal for habeas corpus in order to be freed from imprisonment.

After the Writ of Habeas Corpus is filed, the Court has a few options. The Court may deny the Writ, the Court may request that the government submit a response to the Writ, or the Court may grant the Writ.
