The following excerpt is from People v. Acidera, H042312 (Cal. App. 2016):
3. The Attorney General does not contend this appeal was mooted by the trial court's subsequent reduction of the conviction to a misdemeanor. Because remand will give the trial court "an opportunity to restructure its sentencing choices," People v. Rodriguez (2009) 47 Cal.4th 501, 509, we do not consider the appeal moot.
