San Francisco Court Grants Registrant’s Petition

Source: ACSOL

San Francisco Superior Court today granted a petition filed on behalf of a registrant who was assigned to Tier 1.  Local law enforcement determined that the registrant was eligible to petition and the District Attorney did not object to the petition.  The registrant was represented in court by ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci.

“Another person has escaped the bondage of the registry,” stated Bellucci.  “We must continue to file petitions in order to maximize the number of people who are released from the registry.’

After a court grants a petition, the California Department of Justice will send the person a formal letter stating that he is no longer required to register.  It could take a month or longer for that to occur.

More good news to report! A court in Los Angeles County today granted a petition filed on behalf of a registrant who was assigned to Tier 2. He was represented by ACSOL President Chance Oberstein. Congratulations to both Chance and his client!

We welcome reports of petition hearing results from attorneys, registrants and others. Please post the results in comments and we will contact you for additional information if you are willing to share.

On November 16th, 2021, the District Attorney did not object to you being eligible for 290 relief. Since you xxxx register at the Sheriff’s office, the Judge at the Victorville courthouse transferred your 290.5 Petition Hearing to be held at the xxxxxxx courthouse and reviewed by the judge there. As of today, there is no court date set for it yet or update on the court database on the results. Once the court date is set or the court issues a decision, we will notify you of that hearing and the results. The judge at the xxxxxxx courthouse may provide a decision anytime from now to May 2022. Once the court issues a decision, the court will notify you and us on the results made by the judge.

Impatiently waiting 😬

Janice that is good/great news for all out in your area. Of course one doesn’t count their chickens before their hatched does one. Many on here amaze me. David with his quick wit… I am David, the computer guy that says its all about this internet or computer science and the many others that don’t know where to turn to. Sure I’ve taken my lumps and bruises a bit also. Now one has a donation drive and I’m sure LE have donation drives also. Lets see theirs’ breast cancer society, donations to help keep people out of trouble, Police funds etc not to mention campaign contributions among others.

 Sure giving is good if one can give but but which is better? I’m sure many on the registry could of been off of this registry a long time ago if they hadn’t been sucked in. So who is exploiting or sturing up dissension. I even think we talked about exploriting once on here. Can one say Government, or someone correct me if I am wrong. Hey maybe its best that I never came on here or got involved. While this site is good it seems to be getting a bit much when one is trying to understand today’s exploits.

  Many on here were never talking to a teenager in this game play. Government knows that for a fact. So were does the lying come in. Was government doing an act of kindness or who is quick to judge today or quick to give a plea deal to avoid the shame of a trial by jury. I’m sure we all can be mad as hell but who is pulling on the strings in these sting ordeals. I’m sure one could get all kinds of answers but who is being strung up by all this. I believe its an abomination.but still we all have to seek true justice. Lets hear it for Janice and the team.

Great work, Janice!! 🤗

Another starfish saved!! 👏🏻👍🏻

Sounds like you two are just getting people out of the matrix so to speak.

Now if we can only make it so that dropping off the registry is automatic and not subject to each registrant having to take it to court once eligible.

I’m a little caught off guard by this comment! Congrats otherwise. I obtained a COR this spring – LA county. I kept reminding people about the new DA George Gascon! I didn’t even see the court room/my presence wasn’t required! Zero opposition. If you live in LA County, SF, run to the courts! You should have already filed to be removed asap! My neighbor is an LA county DA. His comment: it’s now super easy to obtain a COR or get off the registry unless you killed someone! If you have a relative in LA county, register in 2 places hint! I’m looking forward to hearing about those who reside in OC /like I do. Hint! Once granted, you will obtain a court document with bold letters: no longer required to register pursuant to pc 290.05! Thereafter, you will receive a follow up document via the DOJ around 3-4 weeks thereafter. No LE ever called me! Retarded! I had to call the clerks who register you and they have a website they use! Registeration Terminated! Congrats! If anyone has the opportunity to get off the registry and hasn’t filed? No comment

Milton what can one say. One either fights for justice or put their guns’ away. Sure everyone loves a victory. I had a friend before we moved to VA that was a lawyer and being a lawyer can be stressful. Even looking at this registry and how many feel about this is disgusting. The average John Q Public doesn’t actually know what goes on in many of these ordeals.

Sure everyone is scared. In other words this registry isn’t always appreciated. Worse case scenario is that person could of been and I hate to say it “Jack the ripper” course I don’t know how mccabe he was. Their is good and bad in everything and yes for a lawyer to get an appeal or strive to refresh a case from the many other case loads that is a victory and very positive.

Which way it goes from their is up to that judge. After my old PO retired or changed departments they gave me a woman PO but actually she turned it over to one of her trainee’s to help in these last few months I have. And yes when Probation or Parole is over its done with. Course the slate is never whipped clean.

Just curious, does anyone know if someone in Orange County (CA) has gotten a petition granted? I’m waiting to see if they continue to be difficult.

our son was given tier 1 and two years probation for 3 felonies and 1 misdemeanor. We are very fortunate that we had the money to pay for a lawyer and a forensic expect. our son was facing 13 felonies. he will have completed his first year of probation and the PO is talking about ending the probation early b/c he is doing very well.

Reading the posts that some people are able to petition for removal from the registry is encouraging. can we be hopeful for our son?

Charlene that sort of reminds me of my ordeals back in the 60’s and 70’s when I was in high school and college. What a parent won’t go thru for their child. Course dad gave me some advice not to get married. He didn’t even think he would get married. Course most all of my ordeals were for public intox or DUI back than and a little possession.

Yes we can all have a hard head in our growing stages but this registry is a bit much for many. Sure justice is good if its going about it in the right way. I know they say on “Dragnet” just doing my job ma’am. Well doing a job and undercutting or penning, pressing , or even forcing is a bit much.

Look at it this way and correct me on this please. IF someone paid you to set someone up would you or anyone else do that? Setting one up is a bit of a vain rush in and of itself.

Now I came from W,VA and yes we had coal miners and stills even the Buffalo creek disaster which I worked in at 16 as well as others was trying for those families, but something like this registry is a bit much and very degrading which many don’t understand unless they go thru it. Guess one has to thank God that we do have advocate’s like Janice and many others fighting for true justice in this ordeal that many face.

I hate to say this but compared to a weekend warrior this registry takes the cake with much of this con game. Its like when I got arrested I ask the person what was the reason for me bringing a milk shake down here.and he told me its all part of the game.

❓❓❓ I have been curious about this question, so maybe someone will know the answer: Let’s assume you are a California registrant only (that is, you are not listed on any other State’s registry).
If you are granted removal from Cali’s Registry, how do other state’s s.o. rules apply to you? For example, if you visit a different State/County/City with a law that says “anyone convicted of a sexual offense may not be present in a public park”, does that still apply to you?
(I would assume it does still apply – you may have been de-listed from Cali’s registry, but you still have a sexual offense conviction on your record.)
And, for that matter, wouldn’t a similar law anywhere in California also still apply to you – even after you are removed from Cali’s Registry?? 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

Does removal from California’s Registry only remove the burden of annual registration? Or does it also relieve you of the burden of all the other related regulations, requirements, and restrictions??

Thanks anyone with answers!

I was granted a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in March 2008, that vacated conviction, yet was never enforced. Since then I have been victimized by being on the SORNA Registry aka The Hit list. My case has been covered up, yet I still have to register and vigilantism has caused me irreparable harm at the hands of Sacramento County Superior Court. Please help uncover a cover-up.
