P. v. Penaloza CA4/3
Jose Manuel Penaloza appeals from the sentence imposed after his conviction under Penal Code sections 261.5, 288a, and 288. He asserts that newly amended section 1170 applies to him, and his judgment was not final when the amendment went into effect. In addition, a new amendment to section 654 could have an ameliorative effect on his sentence. Accordingly, his sentence should be vacated and remanded for resentencing under the new laws. The Attorney General agrees, and we concur and return the matter to the trial court for resentencing.
