California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Long, C087108 (Cal. App. 2019):

Like the denial of defendant's section 17, subdivision (b) motion, we review the court's denial of his section 1385 motion for abuse of discretion. (People v. Carmony

Page 20
(2004) 33 Cal.4th 367, 375.) "In exercising its discretion under section 1385, the court should consider the nature and circumstances of the defendant's current crimes, the defendant's prior convictions, and the particulars of his or her background, character, and prospects." (People v. Orabuena (2004) 116 Cal.App.4th 84, 99.)
