Defendant Maricela Delgadillo was convicted by jury trial of three counts of sexual abuse of a minor. The trial court imposed the upper term, plus a consecutive term and a concurrent term. On appeal, defendant contends we must reverse and remand for resentencing based on both Assembly Bill No. 124 (2021–2022 Reg. Sess.) (Stats. 2021, ch. 695, § 5) (Assembly Bill 124) and Senate Bill No. 567 (2021–2022 Reg. Sess.) (Stats. 2021, ch. 731, § 1.3) (Senate Bill 567), both of which amended Penal Code, section 1170, subdivision (b).1 The People concede Assembly Bill 124 applies here (In re Estrada (1965) 63 Cal.2d 740; People v. Flores (2022) 73 Cal.App.5th 1032, 1039) and requires that we remand for resentencing. The People also correctly observe that our acceptance of this concession moots the Senate Bill 567 issue. We accept the concession, vacate the sentence, and remand for resentencing conducted in light of all applicable legislation. BACKGROUND Defendant sexually molested the minor victim for many years until he divulged the molestation to a school counselor; defendant was arrested. On August 28, 2018, the Kern County District Attorney filed an information charging defendant with a lewd and lascivious act upon the victim when he was under the age of 14 years (§ 288, subd. (a); count 1), a lewd and lascivious act upon the victim when he was 14 or 15 years old and defendant was at least 10 years older than he (§ 288, subd. (c)(1); count 2), and sodomy with the victim when he was under the age of 18 years (§ 286, subd. (b)(1); count 3). On July 15, 2020, a jury found defendant guilty on all counts. On August 12, 2020, the trial court sentenced defendant to the upper term of eight years on count 1, plus a consecutive eight-month term on count 2 and a concurrent eight-month term on count 3, for a total of eight years eight months in prison. The same day, defendant filed a notice of appeal.
