P. v. Saucedo
Appellant was convicted by guilty plea of the unlawful taking of a vehicle. (Veh. Code, 10851, subd. (a).) He admitted a prior conviction within the meaning of Penal Code section 666.5[1]and admitted allegations of two prior prison terms ( 667.5, subd. (b)) and one prior serious or violent felony conviction within the meaning of the Three Strikes law. ( 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d); 667, subds. (b)-(i).) Appellant filed a Romero motion,[2]which the trial court denied. It imposed a sentence of the low term of two years, doubled pursuant to the Three Strikes law. The court struck the section 667.5 subdivision (b) prior convictions. Appellant was ordered to pay restitution, including $300 to the victim. On appeal appellant contends that the restitution order of $300 was unrelated to the crime for which he was convicted and must therefore be reversed. Court affirm.
