[MAJORITY — Per Curiam:]
Per Curiam:
The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and the petition for writ of certiorari are granted. The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is vacated and the cause is remanded to the District Court with directions to grant a hearing on the allegations of the petition for writ of habeas corpus unless the court finds that petitioner’s state remedies have not been exhausted.
