P. v. Jones
Eugene Jones appeals the judgment entered following his plea of guilty to possession of a controlled substance in violation of Health and Safety Code section 11350, subdivision (a). Jones admitted a prior conviction within the meaning of the Three Strikes law. (Pen. Code, §§ 667, subd.(b)-(i), 1170.12 subd.(a)-(d).)[1] However, the trial court struck the prior conviction pursuant to section 1385 and sentenced Jones to 16 months in state prison.
Jones contends the order striking his prior conviction for purposes of the Three Strikes law rendered him eligible for one-for-one conduct credits under former section 4019. Alternatively, he contends former section 4019 violated equal protection to the extent it precluded him from obtaining one-for-one conduct credits. We reject these contentions and affirm the judgment.
