PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA vs. CASE NUMBER: DEFENDANT: Instructions for use of this form: Petitions for resentencing must be filed within three years after the effective date of the law (November 5, 2014) or at a later date upon a showing of good cause. Petitions must be filed with the trial court that entered the original judgment unless that judge is unavailable, in which case the presiding judge must designate another judge to rule on the petition.
If the trial court determines that the petitioner is eligible for resentencing, the court must recall the sentence and resentence the petitioner under the new misdemeanor provisions unless the court is its discretion, determines that resentencing the petitioner would pose an unreasonable risk of danger to public safety. The court may consider criminal conviction history, including types of crimes committed, the extent of the injury to victims, the length of the prior commitments, and the remoteness of the crimes, petitioner’s disciplinary record and record of rehabilitation while incarcerated, and any other evidence the court, within its discretion, determines to be relevant in deciding whether a new sentence would result in unreasonable risk of danger to public safety.
After you have filed a petition with the trial court, the district attorney’s office will help review your case and provide information to the court about your eligibility and whether or not a new sentence would result in unreasonable risk of danger to public safety.
