People v. Hronchak
Annotate this CaseAfter defendant failed to report to his supervising parole agent - a violation of parole supervision conditions that defendant admitted - the trial court revoked and reinstated parole on condition that defendant serve an additional 60 days in custody. Defendant appealed, arguing that the parole revocation petition should have been denied because adequate consideration was not given to intermediate sanctions as required by Penal Code section 3000.08, subdivision (f). Defendant also argued that, even if the revocation petition was properly granted, the trial court lacked authority to order defendant to serve more than four additional days in custody because the maximum confinement time for a misdemeanor drug offense is 364 days and, pursuant to the terms of Proposition 47, his underlying drug conviction must now be “considered a misdemeanor for all purposes” other than limitations on ownership or possession of firearms. The court concluded that defendant's challenge to the revocation order is properly decided by this court; intermediate sanctions were appropriately considered for defendant's violation of his parole conditions; and the trial court's authority under section 1170.18, subdivision (d), and 3000.08, subdivision (f), to revoke and reinstate parole on condition the parolee served additional custodial time following a Proposition 47 resentencing is not limited by the 364-day maximum sentence for misdemeanors. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
