P. v. Reaza CA4/2
Defendant and appellant, Ronnie Cruz Reaza, filed a petition for resentencing pursuant to Penal Code section 1170.95, which the superior court summarily denied. On appeal, defendant contended the court erred in summarily denying his petition without affording him the opportunity to file a reply to the People’s opposition. We affirmed.
On December 22, 2021, the California Supreme Court ordered the matter transferred to this court with directions to vacate our decision and reconsider the matter in light of Senate Bill No. 775 (Stats. 2021, ch. 551). On December 29, 2021, we vacated our opinion and provided that any party could file a supplemental brief within 15 days.
Defendant continues to maintain that the court erred in denying his petition as to his murder conviction. As to his attempted murder conviction, defendant contends the matter must be reversed due to the amendments to section 1170.95 rendered by Senate Bill No. 775.
