In re C.V. CA1/4
Appellant C.V., a minor whose felony adjudication was reduced to a misdemeanor pursuant to Proposition 47, a voter initiative that reduces specific nonviolent felony offenses to misdemeanors, seeks a reversal of the trial court’s denial of his petition asking that a DNA sample he provided at the time of his felony adjudication be expunged from the state’s DNA databank. C.V. bases this request on Penal Code section 1170.18, the resentencing provision of Proposition 47, which he contends requires DNA expungement for all defendants whose felony offenses are reduced to misdemeanors. We disagree with C.V.’s interpretation of the relevant statutes and accordingly affirm the trial court’s ruling.
