California Court of Appeal
In re C.H., 146120
Denial of a Proposition 47 petition for resentencing following the reduction of his 2011 felony to a misdemeanor, to expunge a DNA sample he originally provided pursuant to Penal Code section 296.1, is affirmed where Proposition 47's directive to treat a redesignated offense as a misdemeanor 'for all purposes' employs words that have a well-defined meaning and have never applied to alter a crime's original status.
