P. v. Martinez CA6
Defendant Anthony Manuel Martinez pleaded no contest to a felony violation of Vehicle Code section 10851, subdivision (a) (hereafter Vehicle Code section 10851(a)). Defendant was placed on probation, which was terminated after he violated probation several times.
Defendant subsequently filed an application with the trial court pursuant to Penal Code section 1170.18, subdivision (f), which was enacted as part of Proposition 47, to have his felony conviction redesignated as a misdemeanor. The court denied the application after determining that a Vehicle Code section 10851(a) offense may not be redesignated as a misdemeanor under section 1170.18 and because the value of the vehicle at issue was more than $950. On appeal, defendant contends that the trial court erred by denying the application.
For reasons that we will explain, we will affirm the order.
