Petition for resentencing under PC 1170.18

Orange County Superior Court · Locally Approved Forms

Verified current as of July 16, 2026

This form is used by people who were convicted of certain felonies to ask a court to reduce their sentence to a misdemeanor, typically because laws have changed to make their crimes eligible for this reduction. Someone would need this form if they were convicted of a crime like shoplifting, drug possession, or theft that is now considered a misdemeanor under California law instead of a felony.
