In People v. Davis (2000) 79 Cal. App. 4th 251, the defendant sought to enter the deferred entry of judgment program under Penal Code section 1000. (79 Cal. App. 4th at p. 253.) The trial court ruled that the defendant was ineligible based on the Three Strikes law. (Ibid.) The Court of Appeal held that the Three Strikes law did not bar the defendant's participation in the deferred entry of judgment program. (Id. at pp. 253, 256.) Its holding expressly rested on the interpretation of statutory language. (See People v. Davis, supra, 79 Cal. App. 4th at p. 256.)
