ORDER MODIFYING OPINION
AND DENYING PETITION
FOR REHEARING
THE COURT:
The opinion herein, filed April 14, 2014, appearing at 58 Cal.4th 965, is modified as follows:
On page 994, in the first sentence of the third paragraph, delete the words ?school records and,? so the sentence reads: ?The referee found that before petitioner?s capital trial, Defense Counsel Skyers reviewed petitioner?s CYA medical records, as well as petitioner?s criminal history and history as a juvenile offender, and that Skyers did an investigation to determine whether there was some mitigating factor or theme he could present to the jury.?
This modification does not affect the judgment.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
