P. v. Malavasi
Defendant Dennis Patrick Malavasi appeals from post-conviction orders executing previously imposed state prison sentences in two separate cases which have been consolidated for the purpose of argument and opinion. Malavasi contends the trial court erroneously denied him placement in the county jail under The Criminal Justice Act of 2011 (hereafter Realignment Act). (Stats. 2011, 1st Ex. Sess. 2011-2012, ch. 12, § 1; Pen. Code, §1170, subd. (h), (hereafter section 1170(h).)[1] This presents a pure question of statutory construction which we review de novo. (People ex rel. Lockyer v. Shamrock Foods Co. (2000) 24 Cal.4th 415, 432.) We find no error and affirm.
