P. v. Price
Kevin Marquis Price appeals from the judgment entered after his conviction by a jury for second degree robbery (Pen. Code, 211)[1]with special findings by the court in a bifurcated proceeding he had suffered three prior serious or violent felony convictions within the meaning of the Three Strikes law ( 667, subds. (b)-(i); 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)) and section 667, subdivision (a)(1). After the trial was completed, Price asserted his Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment right under Faretta v. California (1975) 422 U.S. 806 [95 S.Ct. 2525, 45 L.Ed.2d 562] (Faretta) to represent himself and thereafter was sentenced to an aggregate state prison term of 35 years to life. He now argues the trial court erred by failing, sua sponte, to terminate his self-represented status and to consider the Romero motion filed by his previous counsel, but withdrawn by Price, to strike one or more of his prior convictions. Court affirm.
