P. v. Chaker CA4/3
In April 2004, an information charged Chaker with possessing an assault weapon (Pen. Code, former § 12280, subd. (b), see now § 30605; count 1), and receiving stolen property (§ 496, subd. (a); count 2). At a bench trial two years later, the trial court found Chaker guilty of count 1 but granted his motion to dismiss count 2 (§ 1118). The court sentenced him to three years of formal probation.
In July 2007, Chaker filed a motion requesting early termination of his probation and expungement of his conviction. The next month, the trial court denied the motion without prejudice and stated it would reconsider the motion in one year.
In our nonpublished opinion, People v. Chaker (Feb. 4, 2008, G037362), we affirmed his conviction on count 1.
Months later, the trial court conducted a hearing on Chaker’s motions to reduce his conviction to a misdemeanor (§ 17, subd. (b)), expunge the conviction, and convert formal probation to informal probation.
