ordered the State to retry Petitioner or release him within ninety (90) days. On July 15, 2013,

Petitioner filed notice with the Court that the parties entered into a plea agreement in which

19

Petitioner plead guilty to three counts of involuntary manslaughter and was released from prison

20

on July 3, 2013. Having granted Petitioner the relief requested, and in light of the fact that

21

Petitioner's original convictions of arson and first degree murder have been vacated, the Court

22
