People v. Hatt
Annotate this CaseA person who suffers a disqualifying conviction after filing a redesignation application but prior to the trial court's ruling on that application is barred from relief under Penal Code section 1170.18 (Proposition 47). The Court of Appeal held that the trial court did not err in this case by denying defendant's application to have his methamphetamine possession conviction redesignated a misdemeanor; the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it continued the hearing on defendant's application until after the conclusion of his murder case; and the trial court did not misinterpret the phrase "prior conviction" in section 1170.18, subdivision (i). Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
