P. v. Eskridge CA2/3
Defendant and appellant Christopher Eskridge was convicted of two counts of perjury by declaration (Pen. Code, § 118, subd. (a)) and two counts of procuring or offering a false or forged instrument for filing (§ 115, subd. (a)). Eskridge appeals his felony convictions for violating section 115, contending he was wrongfully prosecuted under a general statute that is preempted by a more specific misdemeanor statute, Vehicle Code section 20. Eskridge’s contention has merit. Accordingly, we reverse Eskridge’s convictions for violating section 115, subdivision (a), and in all other respects affirm.
