Mr. Amaya pled to numerous counts of felony commercial burglary in 2012. In December of 2014, while in court on a probation violation, Amaya asked the judge to "reduce 'this' to a misdemeanor under Proposition 47." The judge denied the motion and Amaya appealed.
The issue is whether Amaya's statement constituted a "petition" under PC 1170.18. A panel from the Second District holds it does and remands the case to the trial court to consider Amaya's petition.
