California Court of Appeal, 5th District

1Opinion of the CourtO'Rourke, Acting P. J.
*462Gavin Laird appeals the denial of his motion for expungement of his DNA sample from the state's data bank following a reduction in his conviction to an infraction *317"for all purposes" under Proposition 64. His appeal raises an issue of first impression: when an offender whose guilty plea to a felony marijuana conviction is later reduced to an "infraction for all purposes," does the redesignation justify expungement of his previously collected DNA sample from the state's database? We conclude it does not and affirm the trial court's order.
BACKGROUND
Laird was arrested on felony marijuana charges…
