P. v. Thompson CA2/4
On April 2, 1998, appellant Anthony Dwayne Thompson was convicted of possession of a narcotic substance for sale in violation of Health and Safety Code section 11351. On August 3, 2016, after completing his sentence, appellant filed a form petition/application for resentencing pursuant to Penal Code section 1170.18, subdivision (f) to reclassify that felony conviction to a misdemeanor.
On August 15, 2016, the trial court denied the application, finding that appellant did not qualify for relief. The court found the felony conviction could not be reduced to a misdemeanor, as “[i]t’s an 11351 of the Health and Safety Code.”
