The following excerpt is from People v. Bradley, C083751 (Cal. App. 2017):
In November 2014, the voters passed Proposition 47, which reduced a number of felony or wobbler offenses to misdemeanors. (See People v. Rivera (2015) 233 Cal.App.4th 1085, 1091.) "A person who has completed his or her sentence for a conviction, whether by trial or plea, of a felony or felonies who would have been guilty of a misdemeanor under this act had this act been in effect at the time of the offense, may file an application before the trial court that entered the judgment of conviction in his or her case to have the felony conviction or convictions designated as misdemeanors." ( 1170.18, subd. (f).)
