P. v. Mahorney
Defendant Richard Eugene Mahorney entered a negotiated plea of guilty to second degree robbery (Pen. Code, 211; undesignated section references are to this code) and admitted four prior serious felony convictions within the meaning of sections 667, subdivision (a), 667, subdivisions (b)-(i) and 1170.12, in exchange for dismissal of the remaining count (felony evading). At sentencing, the parties agreed that defendant had three, rather than four, prior serious felonies within the meaning of section 667, subdivision (a). After denying defendants motion pursuant to People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497, the court sentenced defendant to state prison for an indeterminate term of 25 years to life for the robbery and a determinate term of 15 years for the three prior serious felonies. Defendant appeals. He contends the trial court abused its discretion in denying his Romero motion. Court reject this claim. Defendant also contends and we agree that the abstract of judgment requires correction.
