IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT (Sacramento) ----

THE PEOPLE, C078161

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. Nos. 02F09233, 14HC00559) v.

JAY INSIXIENGMAY,

Defendant and Appellant.

In case No. 02F09233, defendant Jay Insixiengmay was found guilty by jury of making criminal threats. The jury also found true that defendant had two prior serious felonies. (People v. Insixiengmay (Dec. 27, 2006, C048699) [nonpub. opn.], p. 1.)1 The trial court sentenced defendant to 25 years to life in state prison, plus five years

consecutive for one of the priors. (Ibid.) We affirmed his conviction on appeal. (Id. at p. 2.) The California Supreme Court denied review on March 14, 2007. On the afternoon of November 2, 2002, defendant, who was drinking heavily, got into an argument with his brother and kicked the sliding glass door to the residence where defendant’s brother and his family lived. (People v. Insixiengmay, supra, at p. 2.) The victim, defendant’s sister, intervened and stopped the argument, then left the premises. (Ibid.) In her absence, defendant started a new argument with the victim’s husband. (Ibid.) The victim returned and asked defendant for an explanation, prompting an outburst that included blows, kicks, and threats to kill the victim. (Id. at pp. 2-3.) On February 4, 2013, defendant filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, pleading for the recall of his sentence under Proposition 36 (Pen. Code,2 § 1170.126). Construing the petition as a motion for resentencing, the trial court denied it on March 13, 2013, on the ground that section 1170.126 did not give defendant grounds for relief because his current conviction (criminal threats) was for a serious felony. On April 3, 2013, defendant filed a request for reconsideration. The trial court denied the request on April 24, 2013. On July 28, 2014, defendant filed another petition for recall of sentence under section 1170.126. On September 30, 2014, the trial court denied the petition. On October 6, 2014, defendant filed a petition for habeas corpus, again seeking the recall of his sentence under section 1170.126. (Case No. 14HC00559.) On December 4, 2014, the trial court entered an order construing the habeas corpus petition as a petition for recall of sentence under section 1170.126 and denying it on the ground that defendant was statutorily ineligible for relief. Defendant appealed from that order.
