P. v. Pifer CA4/2
In 2005, defendant and appellant Brian Andrew Pifer pled guilty to attempted unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a); Pen. Code, § 664) with a prior conviction for receipt of a stolen motor vehicle (Pen. Code, §§ 496d, subd. (a), 666.5), and he admitted one prison prior (Pen. Code, § 667.5, subd. (b)). Subsequently, California voters enacted Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, which among other things established a procedure for specified classes of offenders to have their felony convictions reduced to misdemeanors and be resentenced accordingly. (Pen. Code, § 1170.18.)
In a previous nonpublished opinion, we affirmed the trial court’s denial of defendant’s petition for resentencing pursuant to Proposition 47. (People v. Pifer (Sept. 23, 2016, E064119 [nonpub. opn.].) In this opinion, at the direction of the California Supreme Court, we reconsider the matter in light of People v. Page (2017) 3 Ca1.5th 1175 (Page).
