P. v. Meyers
David Allen Meyers entered negotiated guilty pleas to making a criminal threat (Pen. Code, 422)[1]and discharging a firearm in a grossly negligent manner ( 246.3). As part of the plea bargain, Meyers also admitted he personally used a firearm ( 12022.5, subd. (a)) and had a prior serious/violent felony or strike conviction ( 667, subds. (b)-(i)) and a prior serious conviction within the meaning of section 667, subdivision (a)(1). In exchange for the guilty pleas and admissions, the prosecution agreed to dismiss a felony count and a related misdemeanor count. After denying Meyers's Romero (People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497) motion to dismiss the strike allegation, the trial court sentenced Meyers to 10 years eight months in prison. Meyers appeals, contending the court abused its discretion by denying his Romero motion.
