People v. Mendoza

47 does not limit the court to rigid sentencing options. (See Sellner , supra , 240 Cal.App.4th 699 , 192 Cal.Rptr.3d 836 ; People v. Acosta (2016) 247 Cal.App.4th 1072 , 1076-1077, 202 Cal.Rptr.3d 614 ( Acosta ).) A trial court may reconsider any component underlying the sentence. ( Ibid .; see also People v. Roach (2016) 247 Cal.App.4th 178 , 186, 202 Cal.Rptr.3d 1 ; People v. Rouse (2016) 245 Cal.App.4th 292 , 300, 199 Cal.Rptr.3d 360 [" 'The purpose of section 1170.18 is to take the defendant back to the time of the original sentence and resentence him with the Proposition 47 count now a misdemeanor.' [Citation.]" (Italics omitted.) ].) For example, a trial court may impose six previously dismissed prior prison term enhancements when resentencing a defendant following Proposition 47 relief on another case. ( Acosta , supra , at pp. 1076-1077, 202 Cal.Rptr.3d 614 .) A trial court may also revisit and impose a harsher punishment on other non-Proposition 47 misdemeanor counts if a defendant is entitled to Proposition 47 resentencing on another count. ( People v. Cortez (2016) 3 Cal.App.5th 308 , 316-317, 207 Cal.Rptr.3d 510 ( Cortez ).)

In Sellner , we held that a trial court has jurisdiction to resentence the defendant on a non-Proposition 47 case where Proposition 47 relief applies to the principal term. ( Sellner , supra , 240 Cal.App.4th at p. 701, 192 Cal.Rptr.3d 836 .) There, the court originally imposed an aggregate sentence of three years eight months (a three-year principal term and an eight-month subordinate term). The court granted Proposition 47 relief on the principal term, and resentenced the defendant on the subordinate term to two years. ( Ibid . ) We affirmed the judgment, explaining that under section 1170.1, subdivision (a), when a defendant is sentenced consecutively for multiple convictions, the aggregate determinate sentence " 'is to be viewed as interlocking pieces consisting of a principal term and one or more subordinate terms....' [Citation.]" ( Sellner , supra , at p. 701, 192 Cal.Rptr.3d 836 .) Thus, the "the trial court not only was vested with jurisdiction to resentence [the subordinate term], it was required to do so." ( Ibid ., citing People v. Begnaud (1991) 235 Cal.App.3d 1548 , 1552, 1 Cal.Rptr.2d 507 .) We observed that because the recomputed two-year sentence was less than the original sentence, "defendant ha[d] not been punished more severely for the successful filing of a Proposition 47 petition." ( Sellner , supra , at p. 702, 192 Cal.Rptr.3d 836 .)

We reject Mendoza's contention that Sellner does not apply when the trial court grants Proposition 47 relief on a subordinate term. As in Sellner , Mendoza's aggregate sentence for the two cases is "to be viewed as interlocking pieces." ( Sellner , supra , 240 Cal.App.4th at p. 701, 192 Cal.Rptr.3d 836 .) When Proposition 47 applies to any count or related case, the trial court must reconsider the entirety of the aggregate sentence. ( Id. at pp. 701-702, 192 Cal.Rptr.3d 836 .) The court was entitled to resentence Case A anew; its options included

longer term than the original nine-year term. Section 1170.18, subdivision (e) provides: "Under no circumstances may resentencing under this section result in the imposition of a term longer than the original sentence." The parties agree that the trial court resentenced defendant to a nine-year term in Case A and a consecutive one-year term in Case B, for a total of 10 years.

When a trial court's intention is clear, we "need not remand for resentencing, but can modify the judgment to reflect the intent of the trial court." ( People v. Gutierrez (1996) 46 Cal.App.4th 804 , 816, 54 Cal.Rptr.2d 149 ; see also § 1260.) The trial court clearly indicated that its intent was to impose the same "global disposition of nine years" it had previously imposed. We modify the judgment to reflect a concurrent, not consecutive, one-year sentence in Case B for an aggregate term of nine years, consistent with the trial court's intended disposition.

DISPOSITION

The judgment is modified to reflect that the one-year sentence for Case B run concurrently to sentence imposed in Case A. The trial court is directed to prepare an amended abstract of judgment reflecting the modification and to forward the amended abstract to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. In all other respects, the judgment is affirmed.

We concur:

PERREN, J.

When a trial court grants Proposition 47 relief on an eligible felony offense, it resentences the defendant to a misdemeanor. (§ 1170.18, subd. (b).) Proposition
