California Court of Appeal November 30, 2012, No. H036573 (People v. Zeigler)

Opinion

WALSH, J.*

Mitchell Lewis Zeigler, defendant and respondent, petitioned for a certificate of rehabilitation regarding two prior drug convictions in 1989 and 2000. The People opposed the petition on the basis that it was barred by defendant’s new, nonviolent drug offense in 2007 for which he was granted probation under Proposition 36 (the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000).
