P. v. Crowder CA2/7
Defendant Eric Wayne Crowder appeals from a judgment of conviction entered after a jury trial. He challenges the imposition of four one-year prison term enhancements under Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (b), for prior felony convictions. At the sentencing hearing, the trial court redesignated three of Crowder’s prior felony convictions as misdemeanors pursuant to Proposition 47, The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act (§ 1170.18). The court nevertheless proceeded to impose enhancements for those convictions. As the People concede on appeal, this was an error under our decision in People v. Abdallah (2016) 246 Cal.App.4th 736 (Abdallah). Accordingly, we modify the judgment to strike the three one-year enhancements that were based on Crowder’s prior felony convictions that had been reduced to misdemeanors.
