From the article:
Dennis Riordan, a San Francisco appellate specialist who now represents Hayat, said he will ask for a rehearing before an expanded circuit panel of 11 judges.
Failing that, Riordan said, he will file a habeas petition in Sacramento federal court. That is a civil pleading, attacking a conviction and sentence.
The centerpiece of the Hayat petition will be that his trial lawyer, Wazhma Mojaddidi, was "incompetent and later admitted she was incompetent," Riordan said. "She had never handled a criminal case. What she did was inexcusable."
Mojaddidi was admitted to the State Bar of California on Dec. 1, 2003, after graduating from the University of the Pacific's McGeorge School of Law. The Hayat family sought her out in June 2005, after the arrests of Hamid and his father, Umer.
