P. v. Gordon
Davond Gordon appeals from the judgment entered following a jury trial in which he was convicted of selling a controlled substance, heroin (Health & Saf. Code, 11352, subd. (a)) and his admission that he suffered a prior conviction or juvenile adjudication of a serious or violent felony within the meaning of the Three Strikes law (Pen. Code, 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d) and 667, subds. (b)-(i)) and a prior conviction within the meaning of Health and Safety Code section 11370.2, subdivision (a). He was sentenced to prison for the middle term of four years, doubled by reason of the strike conviction, for a total of eight years. He contends increasing the punishment based upon a prior juvenile adjudication violates the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial. He also requests that this court review the sealed transcript of the Pitchess motion. For reasons stated in the opinion Court affirm the judgment.
