P. v. Wisdom CA6
Defendant Mark Anthony Wisdom appeals from an order denying his petition for redesignation of his 2006 felony convictions as misdemeanors under Penal Code section 1170.18, which was enacted pursuant to Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, at the November 4, 2014 election. Defendant’s convictions were based on his no contest plea to possession of two motorcycles in violation of section 496d. Defendant contends that his offenses were eligible for reduction to misdemeanors because the value of each of the two motorcycles was less than $950. He further contends that the order violated his constitutional right to equal protection because theft of a vehicle worth less than $950 (§ 487) and receiving other kinds of stolen property worth less than $950 (§ 496, subd. (a)), may be deemed only a misdemeanor.
