P. v. Williams CA2/4
Defendant and appellant Shon Oliventa Williams appeals the trial court’s denial of a recommendation made by the California’s Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), under Penal Code former section 1170, subdivision (d)(1) to consider recalling Williams’ sentence and resentence him in light of changes made to section 667, subdivision (a)(1). The trial court denied the request, citing previous orders in which it had denied resentencing requests initiated by Williams and deemed amendments to section 667 inapplicable to final judgments.
While Williams’ appeal was pending, Assembly Bill No. 1540 (2021-2022 Reg. Sess.) (Stats. 2021, ch. 719, §§ 1-7) (AB 1540) came into effect on January 1, 2022.
