Name: People v. Duncan
Case #: C041637
Court: CA Court of Appeal
District 3 DCA
Opinion Date: 10/15/2003
Subsequent History: None
Summary

The court found that the trial court did not err in failing to sentence the defendant, a Vietnam War veteran pursuant to the provisions of Penal Code section 1170.9, which would permit him to receive federal incarceration. People v. Abdullah (1992) 6 Cal.App.4th 1728, held that the federal program was never implemented, and the defendant made no attempt to show that the program has since been implemented.
