P. v. Dietlin
Pursuant to a negotiated disposition of a seven-count information, appellant pled no contest to a charge of communicating with a minor in an attempt to arrange a meeting in order to engage in lewd and lascivious behavior. (Pen. Code, § 288.4, subd. (b).)[1] The trial court denied him probation and sentenced him to state prison for the lower term of two years. Appellant claims that (1) the denial of probation constituted an abuse of discretion and (2) the requirement that he register as a sex offender violated his constitutional right to equal protection under the law. Court disagree with both contentions, and hence affirm the judgment.
