(1) Does a federal court’s “gateway” finding of actual innocence (Schlup v. Delo (1995) 513 U.S. 298) satisfy the “factually innocent” standard of Penal Code section 1485.55, subdivision (a), for entitlement to compensation by a person wrongfully convicted and incarcerated? (2) Are the factual findings and credibility determinations made in a federal court’s Schlup order binding on state courts under Penal Code section 1485.5, subdivision (c)? (Souliotes v. California Victim Compensation Bd. (2021) 61 Cal.App.5th 73, review granted 6/9/2021 (S267930/B295163).)

On 9/21/2022, the court transferred Souliotes for reconsideration in light of Senate Bill No. 446 (Stats. 2021, ch. 490, § 1) and Senate Bill No. 632 (Stats. 2022, ch. 133, § 1(a)).
