P. v. Ramirez CA6
On July 21, 1995, defendant Frank Ramirez was convicted of possession for sale of methamphetamine (Health & Saf. Code, § 11378), and possession of a firearm by a felon (Pen. Code, §. 12021, subd. (a)(1)). On April 17, 2016, defendant was sentenced to 29 years to life under the Three Strikes law (§ 667, subds. (b)-(i)). In the years since his conviction, defendant has filed multiple petitions for writ of habeas corpus and for resentencing, all of which have been denied.
On September 11, 2017, defendant filed a petition for resentencing pursuant to section 1170.18, subdivision (a). The district attorney opposed the petition, arguing that it should be denied because the crimes do not qualify for resentencing. On October 20, 2017, the trial court denied the petition. The trial court found that defendant’s petition sought relief that had previously been denied, and that he was not eligible for the requested relief because his convictions were not subject to the resentencing pro
