P. v. Quinn
On appeal, defendant Steven Quinn contends the trial court’s failure to award additional conduct credits pursuant to the Criminal Justice Realignment Act of 2011 (Realignment Act) (Stats. 2011, ch. 15, § 482) constitutes a violation of equal protection. Following the California Supreme Court’s decision in People v. Lara (2012) 54 Cal.4th 896 at page 906, footnote 9 (Lara), we reject defendant’s contention. We affirm the judgment.
BACKGROUND[1]
Defendant committed his offenses on January 24, 2011. He pled no contest to first degree burglary (Pen. Code, § 459, subd. (a)).[2] His conviction for first degree burglary is a serious felony. (§ 1192.7, subd. (c)(18).) The trial court sentenced defendant to a stipulated term of two years in state prison and awarded 284 days of presentence credit (190 actual and 94 conduct).
The trial court sentenced defendant under the September 28, 2010, revision of the presentence credit law. Under that version, a defendant with a current or prior serious or violent felony conviction was entitled to two days of conduct credit for every four days of presentence custody. (Former §§ 2933, 4019.)
