P. v. Abdullah CA2/3
A jury convicted Hanif Saladin Abdullah of first degree burglary and the trial court sentenced him, in part under the “Three Strikes” law, to 35 years to life. Abdullah petitioned for resentencing under Penal Code section 1170.91, which allows certain veterans who were convicted of a felony to request resentencing if, as a result of their service, they suffer from substance abuse or other enumerated problems. The trial court denied the petition and Abdullah appealed. Because section 1170.91 does not permit resentencing where, as here, the petitioner was sentenced for an indeterminate term imposed under the Three Strikes law, we affirm.
