P. v. Gomez
Richard Dean Gomez entered negotiated guilty pleas to kidnapping (Pen. Code, 207, subd. (a); further statutory references are to the Penal Code) and dissuading a witness ( 136.1, subd. (c)(3)). Gomez further admitted he had two prior serious felony convictions ( 667, subd. (a)(1)) and one prior serious/violent felony or strike conviction ( 667, subds. (b)-(i)). Under the plea bargain, the prosecution dismissed five felony counts, including two counts of corporal injury to a spouse, making a criminal threat and attempted robbery. The parties stipulated to a 22-year prison term. The trial court denied Gomez's motion to withdraw his guilty plea and sentenced him to 22 years in prison in accordance with the plea bargain. Gomez did not obtain a certificate of probable cause.
