P. v. Bakker
Defendant has appealed a postjudgment order, in which the trial court denied his motion for relief from the registration requirements of Penal Code section 290. Court affirmed the order.
The trial court found defendant not guilty by reason of insanity on one count of misdemeanor sexual battery and two counts of felony battery against a custodial officer. Following a referral to CONREP for a placement recommendation, the court committed defendant to confinement in a state hospital for a period of four years eight months.
Over 10 years after the judgment, defendant filed a motion informing the trial court that, upon his initial release from the state hospital, he had been “informed that he was required to register” as a sex offender under section 290. Defendant's motion sought relief from that requirement. Defendant's appeal is from the order denying that motion. Order Affirmed.
