California Court of Appeal

In a criminal action, the trial court's denial of defendant's petition for a certificate of rehabilitation under Penal Code section 4852.01 is reversed. The Court held that the statute's denial of eligibility to felons who have completed a probation sentence and are subsequently incarcerated, while granting eligibility to felons who have completed a prison sentence and are subsequently incarcerated, violates equal protection.
