The following excerpt is from People v. Valle, D066298 (Cal. App. 2015):
A trial court's decision to exercise its discretion to require lifetime sex offender registration pursuant to section 290.006 is reviewed for an abuse of discretion. (People v. Jordan (1986) 42 Cal.3d 308, 319.) An appellate court will not interfere with a discretionary ruling unless it finds that the trial judge "exercised its discretion in an arbitrary, capricious or patently absurd manner that resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice." (Id. at p. 316.)
