P. v. Mathews CA5
Petitioner Houston Eugene Mathews petitioned the trial court for resentencing on his conviction for first degree murder. (Pen. Code, § 1170.95.) The court summarily denied the petition.
On appeal, petitioner argues the trial court reversibly erred in failing to state the basis for its ruling. We conclude the error was harmless because the record of conviction establishes petitioner is ineligible for resentencing as a matter of law. Accordingly, we affirm.
