P. v. Eastman
Appellant, Jeffrey Todd Eastman, Jr., stands convicted of two counts of committing a lewd or lascivious act upon a child under the age of 14 (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (a))[1], following his negotiated plea of no contest to both counts. He appealed, and in People v. Eastman (2007) 146 Cal.App.4th 688 (Eastman I), this court reversed the judgment and ordered, inter alia, that the trial court hold a hearing on appellants Marsden motion, i.e., his motion for appointment of substitute counsel under People v. Marsden (1970) 2 Cal.3d 118 (Marsden). (Eastman I, supra, 146 Cal.App.4th at p. 699.) On February 16, 2007, the court conducted a hearing on appellants Marsden motion, denied the motion, and reinstated the judgment. The instant appeal followed. The judgment is affirmed.
