    On December 7, 1989, the California Supreme Court affirmed Lang's sentence on direct appeal.

    On October 1, 1990, the US Supreme Court denied his certiorari petition.

    On February 23, 1994, Lang's most recent state habeas petition was denied by the California Supreme Court.

    On July 23, 2010, US District Court Judge Margaret M. Morrow upheld Lang's conviction but found counsel's performance was deficient at the penalty phase. She then continued the case for a determination as to whether counsel's deficient performance caused Lang to suffer prejudice.
