IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA



FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT



DIVISION THREE



THE PEOPLE,



Plaintiff and Respondent,



v.



CHRYSANTHUS MORDECAI THOMAS,



Defendant and Appellant.



G040392



(Super. Ct. No. 99HF0194)



ORDER MODIFYING OPINION
AND DENYING PETITION FOR
REHEARING; NO CHANGE IN
JUDGMENT



It is ordered that the opinion filed herein on March 4, 2010, be modified as follows:



On page 10, in the second full paragraph beginning Our conclusion in Thomas I, after the second sentence ending must reflect the law prior to Blakeley, add the following three new sentences:



In defendants petition for rehearing, he argues he was entitled to an instruction on involuntary manslaughter at the retrial because it was the only adequate remedy for his trial counsels ineffective assistance during the first trial. Defendants trial counsels ineffective assistance was adequately remedied in the reversal of the judgment of conviction in Thomas I. Therefore, even assuming defendant has not forfeited this argument, it is without merit.



This modification does not effect a change in the judgment. The petition for rehearing is DENIED.



FYBEL, J.
