P. v. Green CA5
A jury convicted appellant Aaron Matthew Green of four counts: willfully eluding a peace officer, possession of a stolen vehicle, willfully resisting a peace officer (count 3), and driving without a valid license (count 4). On October 26, 2015, Green was sentenced to an aggregate term of five years in state prison. Green received a three-year sentence for count 1, with the sentence for each of counts 2 through 4 to be served concurrently with the three-year sentence on count 1. The court also sentenced Green to two one-year enhancements based on two prior prison commitments under Penal Code section 667.5, subdivision (b), to be served consecutively to the three-year sentence on count 1.
Green does not challenge the underlying convictions on appeal. Instead, he challenges the imposition of one of the one-year enhancements based on a prior prison commitment that had been reduced to a misdemeanor under Proposition 47 prior to sentencing in this case.
