It would be difficult to find a faster appellate disposition than this one.
Petitioner gets arraigned on January 15, 2025 and is denied bail. Section 1270.2 allows someone who's denied bail to request a review of that determination within five days, and within that five day period, the petitioner here requested a bail review. But the trial court refused to conduct a bail review hearing.
So days later, on January 22, 2025, petitioner files a habeas writ in the Court of Appeal, arguing that he was entitled to a bail hearing review. The Court of Appeal asks if there's any opposition, there isn't any, and it issues an opinion two days later that grants the writ and orders a bail review hearing.
And then, on Valentine's Day, it publishes the opinion originally rendered on January 24, 2025.
Speedy justice. To remind trial courts that, yes, Section 1270.2 indeed means what it expressly says.
