California Court of Appeal

In re Pope, C051564

Grant of habeas petition is reversed where the trial court erred in directing the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to recalculate defendant's Penal Code section 2933 worktime credit without regard to the 15% limitation on such credit provided by section 2933.1(a) for persons convicted of a violent felony. Section 2933.1(a) is applicable to defendant.
