P. v. Mateo CA2/4
Appellant Milton Mateo sought resentencing for his attempted murder conviction under the original version of Penal Code 1170.95. The trial court denied the petition because appellant was not convicted of murder, and we affirmed. The Supreme Court granted appellant’s petition for review. While the petition was pending, the Legislature enacted and the governor signed into law Senate Bill No. 775 (Stats. 2021, ch. 551), amending section 1170.95 to provide relief for those convicted of attempted murder and manslaughter. The Supreme Court transferred the matter to this court without decision, with directions to vacate our April 20, 2021 decision and reconsider the cause in light of Senate Bill No. 775 and People v. Lewis (2021) 11 Cal.5th 952 (Lewis). We vacated our previous decision on January 26, 2022.
