P. v. Hurtado CA6
Defendant Paul Daniel Hurtado appeals after the trial court denied his Proposition 47 petition for resentencing (Pen. Code, § 1170.18, subd. (a)) as to four forgery convictions (§ 470, subd. (d)) he suffered in 2003. The trial court found that defendant was disqualified from Proposition 47 relief because he has a prior conviction of first degree residential burglary for which he received an indeterminate life sentence under the Three Strikes law (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12). The trial court relied on section 1170.18, subdivision (i), which precludes resentencing for a person with one or more prior convictions for an offense specified in section 667, subdivision (e)(2)(C)(iv). The specified disqualifying offenses include “[a]ny serious and/or violent felony offense punishable in California by life imprisonment or death.” (§ 667, subd. (e)(2)(C)(iv)(VIII).)
