Motion Requesting appointment of Counsel
I used this same motion in case 226736 and the following is the same comment.
If my legal writing is that bad and the court intends to see that government follows, the intent of the Lanterman Pretis Short Act, a law intended to protect gravely disabled mental patients and definitely does not exclude me it should want the legal process to be properly done. The law also says "To guarantee and protect public safety;" and "To provide individualized treatment" this motion could be accepted even after the granting of the demurrer earlier IF the judge is interested in law protecting life.
1. Please Take notice that on this day, July 17, 2000 at, at this time, 9:00 AM, in the Santa Barbara County Superior Court Department 5, located at 1100 Anacapa Street, Santa Barbara, California, the Plaintiff in the above action asks for the following relief.

"The public defender shall perform the following duties",
