P. v. Smith CA3
Defendant Mark Robert Smith appeals from an order denying his petition for a certificate of rehabilitation (Pen. Code, § 4852.01 et seq.) in connection with his 1997 conviction for committing a lewd and lascivious act on a child under the age of 14 (§ 288, subd. (a)).
Defendant contends his statutory ineligibility for a certificate of rehabilitation denies him equal protection of the law. We find no equal protection violation and thus affirm the order of the trial court.
