P. v. Lauer CA4/2
In two separate cases, defendant and appellant Jonathan Lauer pled guilty to one count of unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle. 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.
In a previous nonpublished opinion, we affirmed the trial court’s denial of defendant’s petitions 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 Ca1.5th 1175 (Page). For the reasons stated below, we affirm the trial court’s order denying defendant’s petitions without prejudice to consideration of subsequent petitions providing evidence of his eligibility.
