P. v. Quintero CA6
This appeal returns to us after remand from the California Supreme Court for reconsideration in light of that court’s recent opinion in People v. Buycks (2018) 5 Cal.5th 857. In those three consolidated cases our Supreme Court addressed the retroactive effect of Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act. (Voter Information Guide, Gen. Elec. (Nov. 4, 2014) Prop. 47, § 14.) Proposition 47 reclassified certain felonies and wobblers as misdemeanors and added Penal Code section 1170.18 to provide a mechanism to allow offenders to petition to have felony convictions resentenced or redesignated as misdemeanors.
