P. v. Vasquez CA2/5
Defendant and appellant Steven A. Vasquez appealed from the denial of his petition for resentencing pursuant to Penal Code section 1170.95 and Senate Bill No. 1437 (Senate Bill 1437). We affirmed the trial court’s order summarily denying Vasquez’s petition without appointment of counsel on the basis that section 1170.95 did not provide relief for Vasquez because he was convicted of attempted murder.
The Supreme Court granted Vasquez’s petition for review, and on February 16, 2022, it transferred the matter back to this court with directions to vacate our decision and reconsider the cause in light of Senate Bill No. 775 (Stats. 2021, ch. 551) and People v. Lewis (2021) 11 Cal.5th 952 (Lewis). (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.528(d).)
We ordered our prior opinion vacated on March 1, 2022, and now issue this opinion.
