P. v. Moore CA4/1
In 1991 and 1998 James Ray Moore pleaded guilty and no contest, respectively, to felony first degree residential burglary in violation of Penal Code section 459. The trial court denied Moore's petitions to reduce these felony sentences to misdemeanors under Proposition 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act (Proposition 47, or the Act). Moore's sole contention on appeal is that he was denied his Sixth Amendment right to counsel and the opportunity to be present at the hearing to show he was eligible for Proposition 47 relief.
