P. v. Peterson
Defendant Jonathan Wayne Peterson appeals from the sentence imposed following his plea of no contest to assault likely to cause great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1))[1] and admitted a prior strike allegation (§ 667, subds. (d) & (e)). He contends the prospective application of section 4019, the conduct credit provisions of the Realignment Act, violates equal protection principles. Following the California Supreme Court's decision in People v. Lara (2012) 54 Cal.4th 896, 906, footnote 9 (Lara), we reject this claim.
