SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION TWO

THE PEOPLE, B332378

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. SA017777) v.

RONALD PAUL DAVENPORT,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, Lauren Weis Birnstein, Judge. Reversed and remanded.

Susan Morrow Maxwell, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant.

Rob Bonta, Attorney General, Lance E. Winters, Chief Assistant Attorney General, Susan Sullivan Pithey, Assistant

Attorney General, William H. Shin and Christopher G. Sanchez, Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent.

Defendant and appellant Ronald Paul Davenport (defendant) currently appeals the denial of his request for resentencing pursuant to Penal Code section 1172.75.1 In our original nonpublished opinion, filed February 19, 2025, we dismissed defendant’s appeal finding the trial court lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate defendant’s petition, and, therefore, we lacked jurisdiction to hear the appeal. Our Supreme Court granted review and thereafter transferred the matter to this court with directions to vacate our prior decision and reconsider the cause since learning of defendant’s name being included on the “list of names sent to the Los Angeles County Superior Court” by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.528(d).) We reverse and remand to the trial court.
