What is the effect of combining the appeal and the habeas corpus petition for a single determination?

10 As noted before (fn. 9), we have consolidated the appeal and the habeas corpus petition for a single determination. In addition, in order to determine whether appellant's claim of inadequate legal representation (raised both in the appeal and the petition) was well founded, we followed the practice suggested by the cases and appointed a referee for the purpose of taking evidence concerning the representation afforded to appellant-petitioner (People v. Pena, supra, 25 Cal.App.3d 414, 423, 101 Cal.Rptr. 804).
