P. v. Roberts
A jury convicted Willie Laky Roberts of corporal injury to a cohabitant (Pen. Code, 273.5 subd. (a), count 1); attempted false imprisonment by violence ( 236, 237, subd. (a), 664, count 3); and battery of a cohabitant ( 243, subd. (e)(1), count 4). The jury found true that in the commission of count one, Roberts inflicted great bodily injury on his cohabitant. ( 1192.7, subd. (c)(8); 12022.7, subd. (e).) The trial court denied probation and sentenced Roberts to 7 years and 4 months as follows: 3 years on count 1; 4 years for the enhancements; 4 months on count 3; and time already served in custody on count 4. The court also ordered restitution. In addition, the court ordered Roberts to "have no contact" with the victim for ten years. Roberts contends his conviction for battery must be stayed pursuant to section 654; and, the no-contact order was unauthorized and must be reversed. For purposes of this appeal, he abandoned claims regarding the restitution fines. Court affirm in part, and reverse in part.
