P. v. Alva
Defendant Richard Miranda Alva appeals from a judgment entered following his conviction by a jury trial of two counts of residential burglary (Pen. Code, 459).[1] In a bifurcated proceeding, the trial court found defendant had suffered two prior convictions of a serious felony ( 667, subds. (a)(1), (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d)) and had served six separate prison terms for a felony ( 667.5, subd. (b)).
Defendants motion to dismiss one of his prior strike allegations (People v. Superior Court (Romero) (1996) 13 Cal.4th 497 (Romero)) was denied. He was sentenced to an aggregate state prison term of 30 years to life: (1) a term of 25 years to life under the Three Strikes law on the first count of residential burglary enhanced by a five-year term for a prior serious felony conviction, and (2) a concurrent term of 25 years to life under the Three Strikes law on the second count of residential burglary enhanced by a five-year term for a prior serious felony conviction. The court dismissed the remaining six prior prison term enhancements.
