P. v. Sears
A jury convicted defendant Robert Leon Sears of abuse of a cohabitant (Pen. Code, 273.5, subd. (a)),[1]making criminal threats ( 422), and false imprisonment ( 236). In his first appeal, defendant contended (1) imposing the upper term of imprisonment on the abuse charge violated Blakely v. Washington (2004) 542 U.S. 296 [159 L.Ed.2d 403]; and (2) section 654 prohibits the imposition of consecutive sentences on the criminal threats and false imprisonment offenses because those two crimes were incident to a single objective. We agreed defendants sentence for making criminal threats should be stayed and otherwise affirmed the judgment. (People v. Sears (Sept. 26, 2006, C050732) [nonpub. opn.].)
The judgment is affirmed.
