P. v. Derritt CA4/2
Defendant and appellant Deandre Lamont Derritt appeals a postjudgment order denying his petition to vacate a two-year on-bail enhancement after the underlying prior felony conviction, a 2010 conviction for felony possession of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, § 11377, subd. (a)), was reduced to a misdemeanor pursuant to Proposition 47. (Pen. Code, § 1170.18, subds. (f) & (g).) In a previous nonpublished opinion, we affirmed the trial court’s order. (People v. Derritt (Aug. 26, 2016, E064152) [nonpub. opn.].) In this opinion, at the direction of the California Supreme Court, we reconsider the matter in light of People v. Buycks (2018) 5 Ca1.5th 857 (Buycks). For the reasons stated post, we reverse the postjudgment order and remand with directions to strike the two-year on-bail enhancement and recalculate the aggregate sentence.
