State v. Colack
276 Ga. 396
Ga.
2003
Check Treatment
Sears, Presiding Justice.

Because the habeas court improperly granted relief to Colack before the habeas petition was served on the State and without the benefit of a hearing on the merits of the petition, the habeas court’s judgment is reversed and the case is remanded to the habeas court for a full hearing.*

Judgment reversed.

All the Justices concur.
