IN RE PINE

Docket No. 8943.

66 Cal.App.3d 593 (1977)

136 Cal. Rptr. 718

In re RALPH EDWARD PINE on Habeas Corpus.

Court of Appeals of California, Third District.

January 28, 1977.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

COUNSEL

James M. Mize, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Petitioner.

Evelle J. Younger, Attorney General, and Susan Rankin Bunting, Deputy Attorney General, for Respondent.

OPINION

REYNOSO, J.

By this writ of habeas corpus we are asked to determine when a judgment becomes final after conviction for purposes of applying a statutory amendment which decreases punishment for the same crime. We hold that a judgment is not final so long as the courts may provide a remedy on direct review. That includes the time within which to petition to the United States Supreme Court for writ of certiorari.
