P. v. Ellis
Melvin Lee Ellis pleaded guilty to failure to register as a sex offender (former Pen. Code,[1] 290, subd. (g)(2), now 290.018, subd. (b)) and admitted he had a prior serious/violent felony or strike conviction ( 667, subds. (b)-(i)). At sentencing, the trial court denied Ellis's Romero (People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497) motion to dismiss the strike allegation, and sentenced Ellis to 32 months in prison. The court selected the low term of 16 months for the failure to register count and doubled it under the Three Strikes law.
The judgment is affirmed.
