P. v. Gomez CA4/2
Defendant Gabriel Gomez, Jr., pleaded guilty to unlawfully driving or taking a vehicle in violation of Vehicle Code section 10851, subdivision (a). Thereafter, Proposition 47 went into effect. Proposition 47 allows a defendant convicted of one of several theft-related felonies to petition to have that conviction treated as a misdemeanor, provided the value of the property involved did not exceed $950. Defendant filed a petition pursuant to Proposition 47, but the trial court denied it on the ground that Proposition 47 does not apply to a conviction for unlawfully driving or taking a vehicle.
