California Court of Appeal

In a petition for resentencing under the Three Strikes Reform Act of 2012, which created a postconviction release proceeding for third strike offenders serving indeterminate life sentences for crimes that are not serious or violent felonies, the court's finding that defendant was "not disqualified from resentencing" and refusal to resentence him due to the risk of danger to public safety is affirmed where the court did not err by failing to appoint an expert on the issue of current dangerousness.
