2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"That the attorney general was mistaken in his representation, at least insofar as the intention of this court is concerned, is known to all of us and is apparent from the language used by the majority. They declared that (In re Phyle (1947), supra, 30 Cal.2d 838, 840-841 , 186 P.2d 134, 136 ) The only question presented is whether a person who has been adjudged insane after conviction, sentence, and delivery to a warden of a state prison for execution, has the right to a judicial determination of the question of his restoration to sanity. * * * (30 Cal.2d [838] at pages 842-843, 186 P.2d [134] at pages 136, 137.) There is no authority * * * for the proposition that defendant has a right to habeas corpus or other judicial proceeding to determine the question of his sanity after his release from the state hospital. In fact, section 3700 of the Penal Code expressly prohibits such a proceeding.’ ” (Italics ours.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. In re Phyle““There is no authority ... for the proposition that defendant has a right to habeas corpus or other judicial proceeding to determine the question of his sanity after his release from the state hospital. In fact, section 3700 of the Penal Code 6 expressly prohibits such a proceeding. Once the superintendent certifies that defendant is sane, he is remanded to the custody of the warden for execution and ‘No judge, court or other officer other than the Governor’ can then suspend the execution of the judgment, ‘except the warden of the State Prison to whom he is delivered. . . .’ ” In re Phyle, 30 Cal. 2d at 842-843 , 186 P. 2d at 137 .”
