Name: People v. Toussaint
Case #: A171743
Division: 1
Opinion Date: 20260930
Summary

The Kern County D.A. lacks the authority to appeal from a Alameda County resentencing that included a Kern County conviction. An Alameda County court resentenced defendant on two Alameda County murders and a Kern County third strike in-prison offense, a result neither the Alameda County prosecutor nor the Attorney General sought to appeal. In this posture, Kern County lacks the authority to exercise the People’s right to appeal and, for related reasons, also cannot pursue writ relief. Appeal dismissed.
