P. v. Chesshir CA4/2
Defendant and appellant, Criss Duane Chesshir, appeals from an order denying his Proposition 47 petition to designate his 2002 felony conviction for receiving a stolen vehicle (Pen. Code, § 496d, subd. (a)) as a misdemeanor pursuant to section 1170.18. For the reasons we explain, we affirm the order denying the petition.
Defendant claims his Proposition 47 petition was erroneously denied because, in enacting Proposition 47, an initiative measure, the voters intended to include felony convictions for receiving a stolen vehicle (§ 496d) worth $950 or less within the class of felony convictions eligible to be designated as misdemeanors under Proposition 47—for example, felony convictions for receiving stolen property (§ 496, subd. (a)).
