P. v. Ortiz CA6
Defendant Jose Luis Ortiz appeals from the orders denying his applications to redesignate his 2013 and 2014 felony convictions for receiving a stolen vehicle (Pen. Code, § 496d, subd. (a)) and unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)) as misdemeanors under Proposition 47 (§ 1170.18, subd. (f)).
On appeal, Ortiz argues the trial court erred in denying his applications on the ground that these offenses were not eligible for redesignation under Proposition 47. We agree and will reverse the orders. Since the trial court expressly found that the value of each of the vehicles was less than $950, we will remand the matter to the trial court and direct that it enter new orders granting the applications.
