P. v. Williams
Michael O'Shay Williams appeals from the judgment following his guilty plea to possession of a controlled substance (Health & Saf. Code, 11350, subd. (a)) and admission that he has suffered a prior strike conviction within the meaning of the Three Strikes law (Pen. Code, 667, subds. (b) (i); 1170.12, subds. (a) (d).)[1] Pursuant to the negotiated plea, appellant was sentenced to 32 months state prison and ordered to pay a $200 restitution fine ( 1202.4, subd. (b)), a $200 parole revocation fine ( 1202.45), a $50 lab fee (Health & Saf. Code, 11372.5, subd. (a)), a $20 court security fee ( 1465.8), and ordered to submit to DNA testing ( 296). Appellant filed a notice of appeal and a request for certificate of probable cause which was denied by the trial court. ( 1237.5, subd. (a).) In the request for certificate of probable cause, appellant claimed that he did not receive a competency hearing, that he was not expressly advised of certain rights, and that that he was denied effective assistance of counsel. The judgment is affirmed.
