P. v. Jackson CA2/4
Appellant Jack Jackson filed a motion, deemed a petition for habeas corpus, seeking relief under Proposition 36, also known as the Three Strikes Reform Act, and Proposition 57, also known as the Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of 2016. The trial court denied the petition to the extent it sought relief under Proposition 36, as it duplicated a 2012 petition that had been denied. To the extent the petition sought relief under Proposition 57, the court concluded it raised issues that were civil in nature, and transferred the matter to the civil division. We find no error in the court’s ruling to the extent appellant sought to relitigate issues under Proposition 36, but conclude the court mischaracterized the issues raised under Proposition 57, and remand the matter for determination by the criminal writs center.
