Does the trial court abuse its discretion in ruling upon discovery motions and denying the motion to dismiss?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Martinez, F068723 (Cal. App. 2016):

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in ruling upon defendant's discovery motions and denying his motion to dismiss. Defendant was not subject to invidious discrimination in violation of equal protection because he was not similarly situated as a life-term inmate. We think this case is similar to the situation addressed in People v.
