P. v. Hawkins CA4/2
Defendant and appellant Ryan James Hawkins pleaded no contest to, among other things, a felony count of attempted unlawful driving of a vehicle in violation of Vehicle Code section 10851 and Penal Code section 664. 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 Hawkins’s petition for resentencing pursuant to Proposition 47. In this opinion, at the direction of the California Supreme Court, we reconsider the matter in light of People v. Page (2017) 3 Cal.5th 1175 (Page). For the reasons stated below, we affirm the trial court’s order denying Hawkins’s petition without prejudice to consideration of a subsequent petition providing evidence of eligibility.
