“The Medina decision was based upon the long-standing principle that state legislatures, not federal courts, should establish state rules of criminal procedure. [( Medina, supra, 505 U.S. at pp. 445-446.)] Because we believe that this principle applies with equal force to post-conviction competency hearings, we decline to accept Rhode's narrow reading of Medina.

Robinson, 383 U.S. 375, 378 , 86 S.Ct. 836, 838 , 15 L.Ed.2d 815 (1966). While post-conviction determinations of competency are generally disfavored, id. at 387 , 86 S.Ct. at 843 , we have held that a post-conviction competency hearing is proper so long as ‘a meaningful hearing’ remains possible.”
