In re Grinker CA2/5
We consider whether Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) regulations adopted to implement Article I, section 32, subdivision (a)(1) of the California Constitution (hereafter section 32(a)(1)) validly exclude petitioner Paul A. Grinker (Grinker), an admittedly nonviolent “Third Strike” offender sentenced to an indeterminate term, from early parole consideration relief under section 32(a)(1). The outcome here is controlled by our opinion in In re Edwards (September 7, 2018, B288086) ___ Cal.App.5th ___ (Edwards), published this same day. We grant Grinker’s petition and order early finality of our decision in this court.
