California Court of Appeal
P. v. Lozano, 278663
Dismissing an appeal that argued that a juvenile's sentence of life in prison without possibility of parole was a violation of the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment because the argument was rendered moot when the governor had passed a law entitling juveniles sentenced to life in prison to a parole suitability hearing after 25 years of incarceration.
