In re A.M. CA1/4
Defendant A.M. filed a petition requesting that the juvenile court reduce his adjudication for felony grand theft (Pen. Code, § 487, subd. (c)) to a misdemeanor pursuant to section 1170.18, the resentencing provision of Proposition 47. In his petition, A.M. also asked the court to order that a DNA sample he provided in connection with his adjudication be expunged from the state’s DNA databank. The court reduced A.M.’s grand theft adjudication to a misdemeanor but declined to order expungement of his DNA from the state databank. On appeal, A.M. challenges the latter ruling, contending section 1170.18 requires expungement. We affirm.
