P. v. Veliz
Defendant Armando Veliz appeals from a judgment entered after a jury convicted him of one felony count of possessing an inmate-manufactured weapon. (Pen. Code, 4502, subd. (a).)[1] In a bifurcated court trial, the trial court found true the special allegation that, prior to the commission of the instant offense, Veliz had suffered two prior felony strike convictions for murder. ( 187, subd. (a), 1170.12, subd. (c)(2).) At sentencing, the trial court denied Velizs Romero[2] motion and sentenced him to a term of 25 years to life, to be served consecutive to the two consecutive life terms without possibility of parole that Veliz had been serving prior to the commission of the instant offense.
We appointed counsel to represent Veliz in this court. Appointed counsel filed an opening brief which states the case and the facts, but raises no specific issues. Court notified Veliz of his right to submit written argument in his own behalf within 30 days. That period has elapsed and Court have received no written argument from Veliz.
