P. v. Rios
In September 2014, defendant Cesar Marcos Rios pleaded no contest to a felony violation of Vehicle Code section 10851, subdivision (a)(hereafter Vehicle Code section 10851(a)), and admitted that he had suffered a prior strike conviction (Pen. Code, § 1170.12, subd. (c)(1)).[1] The trial court sentenced defendant to two years eight months in prison.
In March 2016, the trial court denied defendant’s section 1170.18 petition to have his Vehicle Code section 10851(a) conviction resentenced to a misdemeanor. On appeal, defendant contends thatthe trial court erred by denying the petition.[2] For reasons that we will explain, we will affirm the order.
