The following excerpt is from People v. Nusser, E060276 (Cal. App. 2015):
Penal Code section 1170.126 does not clearly specify who has what burden of proof. While this appeal was pending, however, People v. Osuna, supra, 225 Cal.App.4th 1020 held that, in a resentencing proceeding, the prosecution has the burden of proving ineligibility by a preponderance of the evidence. (Id. at p. 1040.)
