People v. Johnson
Annotate this Case
In 2006, Johnson was convicted of receiving stolen property. He was released on a three-year parole term in June 2007. In August 2007, he was convicted of grand theft and possession of controlled substances for sale. The court deemed Johnson’s sentences served but placed him on a new, overlapping three-year parole term. Johnson’s parole was scheduled to end on August 16, 2010. After his release, Johnson absconded from parole supervision 11 times, for a total of 3,215 days, and was in jail on parole violations nine times, for a total of 699 days.
In May 2019, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) filed a petition to revoke Johnson’s parole. The court asked why CDCR was “keeping him on parole” when he had not “committed any felonious conduct” in many years. A parole officer responded that Johnson had not completed parole because of “time stops.” The court terminated his parole after obtaining an admission from Johnson that he violated parole by absconding “since 2013.” The court granted CDCR’s motion for reconsideration stating it “acted in excess of jurisdiction” and that the new parole discharge date was September 8, 2019. The court“modifie[d] the conditions of [Johnson’s] parole to include no supervision.” The court of appeal reversed, finding that the court miscalculated Johnson’s parole discharge date and had no authority to terminate Johnson’s “parole supervision.”
