California Court of Appeal

Trial court's denial of plaintiff's petition for writ of mandate seeking to be relieved of the duty to register as a sex offender under Penal Code section 290 is reversed where: 1) plaintiff has not forfeited his equal protection challenge to section 290.5; and 2) section 290.5(a)(2)(N), which excludes those convicted of violating section 288a(b)(1) from the automatic registration relief obtained by a certificate of rehabilitation, denies equal protection of the law to such persons.
