The following excerpt is from People v. Barajas, E061893 (Cal. App. 2015):
We review a trial court's order dismissing the information under Penal Code section 1385 for an abuse of discretion. (People v. Uribe (2011) 199 Cal.App.4th 836, 858.) A trial court abuses its discretion when it bases its decision "'on impermissible factors [citation] or on an incorrect legal standard.'" (Ibid.)
