Order Modifying Opinion and Denying Rehearing

[No Change in Judgment]

 

THE COURT:

 

It is ordered that the published opinion filed herein on January 30, 2020, and reported in the Official Reports (44 Cal.App.5th 875) be modified as follows:

 

1. On page 2 of the slip opinion, the last sentence of the third full paragraph, the words "and continues to serve" are deleted so the sentence reads:

Consistent with the law at that time, Howerton then began serving his 10- year consecutive sentence for the weapons convictions.

2. On page 3 of the slip opinion, the last two sentences of the first paragraph, beginning "Howerton, however, has not been released...." are deleted and the following sentences inserted in their place:

Howerton, however, was not released. Rather, he remained incarcerated pursuant to the weapons convictions.

There is no change in the judgment.

Respondent's petition for rehearing is denied.
