BY THE COURT1:
         Petitioner filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus arguing that the trial court
improperly found him in violation of probation. We asked for and received informal
opposition and reply. In the informal opposition, the Attorney General concedes error
and asks that we vacate the offending order. Additionally, the parties have waived
issuance of an order to show cause, the filing of a return and traverse, and oral argument
and stipulates to the immediate issuance of the remittitur. (Cal. Rules of Court, rules
8.272(c), 8.490.)
         The concession by the Attorney General is appropriate. Welfare and Institutions

section 777. Given that the proper procedure was not followed, the petition for writ of
habeas corpus is granted and the probation violation is hereby vacated.
      The clerk of the court is instructed to issue the remittitur forthwith.
