California Court of Appeal

In habeas proceeding, defendant's petition to vacate her guilty plea to failure to register as a sex offender in California within five days of coming into, or changing residence within, a county, the writ of habeas relief is granted as the least adjudicated elements of the offense for which defendant was convicted in Kentucky do not meet all of the requirements for any registrable offense in California, and thus, defendant did not unlawfully fail to register as a sex offender and her guilty plea must be vacated.
