P. v. Block CA4/1
Defendant and appellant Carl E. Block was granted an early termination of his probation upon a showing he had been law abiding during his term of probation and had successfully completed a residential treatment program. However, without setting forth any reason for doing so, the trial court denied Block's further request for relief under Penal Code section 1203.4. On the record presented here, such relief was mandatory. Accordingly, we reverse the trial court's order insofar as it denied Block relief under Penal Code section 1203.4 and instruct the trial court to permit Block to withdraw his plea and dismiss the charges against him, as required by the statute.
