California Court of Appeal

Defendant's petition for habeas relief challenging his conviction for failing to register as a sex offender, claiming that he cannot be held for failing to register because the predicate sex offense has been vacated and will not be retried, is denied as the dismissal of defendant's predicate Massachusetts offense after he was convicted of violating section 290 in California is no defense to his registration conviction.
