P. v. Murtland
On October 7, 2011, appellant pleaded guilty to and was sentenced for a commercial burglary he had committed about three weeks earlier, on September 18. In between, on October 1, a statutory amendment that allows inmates to accrue presentence conduct credits at an enhanced rate became effective. Appellant contends he is entitled to receive conduct credits at that enhanced rate for the seven days he was in custody between the time the amendment became effective and the time he was sentenced. Following this court’s opinion in People v. Rajanayagam (2012) 211 Cal.App.4th 42 (Rajanayagam), we reject that contention and affirm the trial court’s decision to award appellant conduct credits at the preamendment rate.
