California Court of Appeal

Held that a man who was convicted of felony cultivation of marijuana was entitled to have his conviction dismissed based on the California electorate's subsequent passage of Proposition 64, which, among other things, provided relief to certain persons previously convicted of marijuana-related offenses. The man argued that he was entitled to have his conviction erased, not just reduced to a misdemeanor. Agreeing with him and reversing the trial court, the California Second Appellate District held that his conviction must be dismissed.
