How have the courts dealt with the issue of oral arguments in a petition for writ of habeas corpus?

to argue the petition orally in court. The court asked Father's counsel if she had "[a]nything else that is not already contained in what has been attached as well as what has been urged on this matter in the 388?" Counsel responded, "No," and the court immediate gave its ruling denying the petition. This is a matter of trial tactics, on which we will not second-guess trial counsel. (People v. Jones (2003) 29 Cal.4th 1229, 1254.) Moreover, Father has not stated in either his appeal or his petition for writ of habeas corpus what trial counsel could have argued that was not already contained in the petition.
