P. v. Marshall
A jury convicted Lisa Dione Marshall of burglary (Pen. Code, 459), petty theft ( 484), possession of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, 11377, subd. (a)) and falsely identifying herself to a law enforcement officer ( 148.9, subd. (a)). Marshall waived jury on allegations of prior convictions and in a bifurcated hearing the court found she had a prior theft conviction ( 666), a prior strike ( 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12) and had served four prior prison terms ( 667.5, subd. (b)). The court sentenced her to prison for eight years: double the two-year middle term for burglary with a prior strike, enhanced by four 1-year terms for the prior prison terms. It stayed sentence for conviction of petty theft with a prior theft conviction and imposed concurrent terms for possessing a controlled substance and falsely identifying herself to a law enforcement officer. While Marshall's appeal was pending before this court, the Supreme Court requested the file be transferred to that court. The file was transferred as requested and has been returned. The record does not indicate why the Supreme Court requested the file be transferred or the outcome of the matter underlying the transfer.
