Stamps defendant in California

2023(Stamps, supra, 9 Cal.5th at p. 692 .) Under a plea agreement, the Stamps defendant agreed to a nine- year prison sentence, including five years for a prior-serious-felony enhancement under section 667, subdivision (a).

2020The Supreme Court noted that the Stamps defendant had entered into a negotiated plea agreement, and “long-standing law limits the court’s unilateral authority to strike an enhancement yet maintain other provisions of the plea bargain.” (Stamps, supra, 9 Cal.5th at p. 701 ; § 1192.5.) The Supreme Court concluded that “[i]n order to justify a remand for the court to consider striking [the defendant’s] serious felony enhancement while maintaining the remainder of his bargain, defendant must establish not only that Senate Bill [No.] 1393 applies retroactively, but that, in enacting that provision,

The decisions did, however, conclude that parties to a plea agreement could not avoid the consequences of “ ‘changes in the law that the Legislature [or the electorate] has intended to apply to them.’ ” (Id. at p. 991, italics omitted.) Harris determined that the People could not withdraw from the plea when the defendant sought resentencing under Proposition 47, and Doe determined that the defendant was subject to a change in the registration requirements for sex offenders.

( Baldivia, supra, 28 Cal.App.5th at pp. 1075-1076.) And the Stamps defendant was sentenced in January 2018, nearly nine months before Senate Bill No. 1393 was signed into law. ( Stamps, supra, 34 Cal.App.5th at pp. 119-120.) Although a reviewing court would lack jurisdiction in a direct appeal to consider a remand for such a defendant, the defendant could nonetheless seek writ relief and, upon a prop

2019(People v. Galindo (2019) 35 Cal.App.5th 658 (Galindo); People v. Fox (2019) 34 Cal.App.5th 1124 (Fox).) As Fox concluded, “the general rule that plea agreements incorporate subsequent changes in the law pertains only to changes that the Legislature or electorate ‘ “intended to apply to” ’ the parties to plea agreements,” and there is no indication that SB 620 was intended to apply to plea bargains in which the defendant and the prosecution stipulated that a 3 specific sentence would be entered in exchange for the dismissal of other counts, rights, or remedies.
