P. v. Givens CA5
Appellant Shalander Dennis Givens was before the trial court after remand for resentencing on multiple felonies, including three counts of premeditated attempted murder, shooting at an occupied motor vehicle, two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and firearm enhancements. He filed an appeal and appellate counsel filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436. On this court’s own motion, we asked the parties to brief the applicability of Senate Bill 620 and the changes to Penal Code section 12022.53 to this case and its effect on the firearm enhancements.
The parties agree Senate Bill 620 is applicable to Givens’s case, but disagree on whether remand for the trial court to exercise discretion is required. We affirm without remand.
