P. v. Castillo CA2/8
Defendant John Robert Castillo appeals from an order denying his petition to reclassify his felony conviction for receiving stolen property as a misdemeanor, as allowed in Penal Code section 1170.18, subdivision (f), which was enacted as part of Proposition 47. As relevant here, Proposition 47 allows a defendant who has completed his or her sentence for a felony violation of section 496, subdivision (a) (receiving stolen property), and has not suffered a separate disqualifying conviction, to petition the sentencing court for an order reclassifying the prior conviction as a misdemeanor upon a showing that the value of the stolen property did not exceed $950. (§ 1170.18, subd. (f).)
