P. v. Cooley CA1/4
Joshua Bryan Cooley was committed to an indefinite term at a state hospital after he was found in 2010 to be a sexually violent predator under the Sexually Violent Predators Act (Welf. & Inst. Code , §6600 et seq. (SVPA)). (People v. Cooley (Dec. 9, 2015, A142099 [nonpub. opn.] (Cooley II).) In December 2016 the court found Cooley eligible for conditional release to an appropriate program for supervision and treatment in the community. However, in January 2021, after more than four years of unproductive hearings addressing proposed placements, the court noticed its own motion for the reconsideration of the 2016 order and, following briefing and argument, rescinded it.
