P. v. Patino
Jose Cruz Patino was convicted by plea of assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury in violation of Penal Code section 245, subdivision (a)(1).[1] He was placed on probation for three years on the condition he serve 210 days in jail, with pre-sentence credits of 32 days. The portion of pre-sentence credit attributable to conduct credits under section 4019 was calculated under the version of the statute in effect on September 10, 2011, when defendant committed the crime. He contends that principles of equal protection compel an award of additional conduct credits under the current version of section 4019, which expressly applies only to defendants whose crimes were committed on or after October 1, 2011, the operative date of the statutory amendments. (§ 4019, subd. (h).) We reject this claim and affirm the judgment.
