California Supreme Court

The People, Plaintiff and Appellant v. Steven Andrew Adelmann, Defendant and Respondent.

May 10, 2018232 Cal. Rptr. 3d 421

Summary

The court held that a defendant whose probation case was transferred to another county must file a Proposition 47 resentencing petition in the original sentencing court. It concluded that the resentencing statute's specific direction controls over the general probation-transfer statute, even though the receiving court otherwise obtains full jurisdiction over the transferred case. The Court of Appeal's judgment was reversed, and the defendant remained free to file in the original county.
