IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA


THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT


(Sacramento)


----







THE PEOPLE,


          Plaintiff and Respondent,


     v.


DORIAN D. BAILEY,


          Defendant and Appellant.



C047633


(Super. Ct. No. 02F04841)



     Defendant Dorian D. Bailey sexually assaulted two different women in two unrelated attacks on the same day.  A jury convicted him of 13 counts charging various sex offenses (Pen. Code, § 209, subd. (b)(1) (unspecified section references that follow are to the Penal Code); § 220; § 243.4, subd. (a); § 261, subd. (a)(2); §§ 664/286, subd. (c)(2); § 286, subd.

Facts


     Given the nature of defendant's claims on appeal, a detailed description of the underlying offenses is unnecessary.  Suffice it to say, defendant sexually assaulted a teenager near her high school and sexually assaulted another woman in her own home.  Both attacks occurred on the same day.


     Other facts are discussed as relevant in the context of defendant's contentions.

Competence to Stand Trial


     Although defendant's attorney did not raise any concerns about defendant's competence to stand trial, defendant asserts the court erred in failing to order a competency hearing on its own motion.  Defendant's claim of error is without merit.
