*146 This is the second time this case has been before us. In 2013, a jury convicted defendant Si H. Liu of 22 theft-related counts connected to her scam of offering loan services to immigrants. She took the victims' credit cards and identifying documents and made unauthorized purchases, or wrongfully retained copies of their documents. In our October 30, 2015 opinion, we reversed her conviction on one count, and modified her sentence to stay four other counts pursuant to Penal Code section 654. 1 ( People v. Liu (B254655) 2015 WL 6601318 [nonpub. opn.] ( Liu I ).)
Following resolution of her appeal, defendant applied under Proposition 47 (The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act; § 1170.18) to have six counts resentenced as misdemeanors (§ 484e, subd. (d); counts 2, 6, 14, 21, 23; § 530.5, subd. (c)(3); count 25). 2 The trial court denied her petitions, *891 finding that "[the] defendant [is] not eligible." As to counts 2, 6, and 14, we affirm, finding the record amply demonstrates defendant's ineligibility for relief. We also find that defendant's conviction under section 530.5, subdivision (c) (count 25) does not qualify for resentencing under section 1170.18 as a matter of law.…
