P. v. Perez CA4/2
The District Attorney of San Bernardino County charged defendant Manuel Perez with one felony count of operating a chop shop (Veh. Code, § 10801) and one felony count of receiving stolen property (Pen. Code, § 496, subd. (a)). Perez pled guilty to the receiving stolen property count in return for dismissal of the chop shop count.
After the voters passed the Safe Neighborhood and Schools Act (Proposition 47), Perez filed an application to redesignate his conviction a misdemeanor under new Penal Code section 1170.18, subdivision (f). The application held no information about the stolen property. The People opposed because the “stolen car was worth more than $950,” and the trial court set a hearing.
