P. v. Dixon CA2/4
This appeal lies from the trial court’s summary denial of defendant and appellant Archie Pernell Dixon’s second petition under Penal Code section 1170.95 seeking resentencing on his conviction for attempted murder. We affirmed the court’s summary denial in a previous opinion (People v. Dixon (July 19, 2021, B307528) [nonpub. opn.] (Dixon II)). Thereafter, the Supreme Court granted review and transferred the matter back to us with directions to vacate the decision and reconsider the cause in light of Senate Bill No. 775 (Stats. 2021, ch. 551, § 2) (S.B. 775), which expanded section 1170.95 to provide a procedural mechanism for those convicted of attempted murder under the natural and probable consequences doctrine to seek resentencing.
