Can a defendant bring a motion to amend or amend his convictions for possession of stolen property and possession of a blank check?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Orman, H043563 (Cal. App. 2017):

That said, defendant may be able to muster the requisite valuation evidence to support a petition as to his conviction for possession of stolen property ( 496, subd. (a)) in case No. CC316797 and his convictions for possession of stolen property ( 496, subd. (a)) and possession of a blank check ( 475, subd. (b)) in case No. CC646629. Accordingly, we shall affirm the orders denying defendant's petitions to redesignate those offenses as misdemenaors without prejudice to defendant filing new petitions supported by valuation evidence. (See Sherow, supra, 239 Cal.App.4th at p. 881; People v. Perkins (2016) 244 Cal.App.4th 129, 142.)
